Seriously…thank you SO much for keeping track of this information. It’s very very cool!! 👍🏽🤘🏽
Statistically speaking, it would be difficult for the Blues to take over the world based on their numbers. It also doesn't help by percentage Canada steals a lot of the blue cars either 🤣 🇨🇦

Spreadsheet updated with more 2023 cars, we've officially made more cars than MY2022 for MY2023 and we're just getting started(Hopefully!).

Last year Lexus killed IS500 production after like 3 months and we're still going strong for now, so assuming Lexus doesn't kill it early again and we get a bunch more cars. If anyone needs to find an IS500, join the IS500 F Sport Performance Owners Club group on Facebook. We're always posting up cars we see for sale and have several salesman in the group to help you locate a car!

I found my VIN in there. Nice!

Interesting to see just how many Ultra White cars there.

Infrared + Black seems like a sort of uncommon spec, but not as rare as Grecian Water. Wow, there are not many of those.

Still amazed we're not past 2K units for North America.
Do we have global figures somewhere?

Sure feels like the blues will stay the rarest at the current rate. 34 more MPs to come.

I can see why they're sending lots of Ultra Whites -- they seem to sell instantly here.

They're only sold in North America and Japan, and I don't have a way of finding out numbers in Japan unfortunately. They also use a different system for tracking build codes

it’s the same code, but read from right to left.

Yeah…my hopes of a Blue Crew World Domination Tour have been dashed.

Hell, who knew the silver Enkeis would be a one model year only. Didn’t see that coming either.

Wonder what they’ll do for 2024. The dark enkeis might be the rarest if they change for 24 with most all 23s coming with bbs.

Very good point!

And YouTube reviewers and commenters thought this parts-bin car wouldn’t sell. HA! Joke’s on them. 😜🤭

Considering the special appearance packages for the 2023 IS350s and RC350s, which they made at least 480 IS350s (RC350 appearance package numbers weren't disclosed yet) that came with the black Enkeis, that alone is more than the 431 sets of silver Enkeis.

SILVER ENKEI GANG!
