Dealer I have been working with said they are getting an iridium in a month or two. Pretty excited for it.

Molten Pearl is a very bold color that pretty much negates the sleeper factor many of us like about our IS500s. Interesting that a couple of them are out there unsold with potential buyers instead choosing to wait on more traditional colors.

I get your thoughts on negating the sleeper factor, but this world desperately needs color.
MP all the way.

USB with Red interior was my first choice in 2022 and I was going to stick with that in 2023 until they announced the MP option.

At this price point, the pool of buyers will be older than the ones looking at a 10th anniversary orange GR86. I actually think Lexus did 150 units for MP for two reasons. 1) to generate interest for the 2023 model year, and 2) because 150 is about how many people will buy it 😊

I am happy they did and to be one of 150 they thought of 😁😉

i would jump at a dark green (e.g British racing green) or a dark purple (Black Amethyst from the LFA), would be happy to pay extra for that. sadly, I doubt the 2024 special edition would be either of those colors, also like the standard rims over the BBS (doesn't hurt standard rims are cheaper as well)

Now those two colors would be awesome 👍🏼.

Ack, don't even *say that!* I would love a Nori Green. Definitely wondering what 2024 will bring.

I am curious if there will be a 2024 IS500.
Maybe, but will that be its last year or at least the last model year for this version of the IS?

I think there will be a 2024. Don't forget how incredibly slowwww Toyota/Lexus is. Slow to adopt and slow to discontinue. I actually wouldn't be surprised if they made this car for 6 more years.

Nori Green looks incredible on the LC500, and I think would be a stand out on the IS500 as well.
