Nice! How do you like the white interior? I have a 2015 GS350 with light gray interior and have had no issues with the light color.

I just put down a deposit to find either a 2023 like this (Atomic Silver with White interior) or wait for the 2024 Incognito with White interior.

No issues whatsoever for me, including color transfer (I do wear jeans on occasion). I've had the car for a year and 8K miles now. I originally wanted Atomic Silver with either black or white interior. The white looks richer and is more rare, and works really well for me. I'm in South FL (no snow) and don't have kids. The one extra step I do take is when I go to the gym or do any work outside, I bring a towel with me to put on the seat for the sweat/dirt. But tbh I'd do that regardless of seat color.

So I am cruising in Ann Arbor & just had to turn around to check out this gorgeous '22 RCF in Infrared. Also, that $$ tag is wrong on the dealer website it is listed as $68,995.00 only 3,300 miles as a CPO not bad IMO. Anyone considered switching to a RCF?

depemds on the options. The one I looked at was nicely optioned for. $80,000. Ended up taking the is500 as I felt more of a bargain for my use and got mine for $64,000 performance with the BBS option

If I were to buy a coupe it would be the Camaro 2ss 1LE which I was in the market for but again went is500. That Camaro went up this year by about $4000 with a Msrp of $61,000. Last year of the Camaro this year with a short production run and they’re on strike right now.

thrilled with the IS500

I had 3M CIR 35% all around on my previous car. I stayed away from Suntek after doing research and people complaining about haziness and scratch mark over time. Getting Llumar for this car tomorrow 35% all around and 80% windshield. For me, the difference was $150 more for the 3M and Llumar over the Suntek. Go with the 3M.

I had a 300 last year as a 1 week rental while visiting Canada and the seats were not comfortable on longer drives, too flat on the bottom cushions and not enough upper support. Apart from that and the cheap looking instrument cluster, the rest of the car was not bad.
