WOW!! Congrats!!

Awesome!! We had our 5th IS 500 owner join our car club yesterday and he has the MP as well. I can’t wait to see it at C&O this weekend. (It’s JDM focused this month.)

Im probably gonna get downvoted but I really don’t think the color looks cool. It reminds me of orange cream soda. In the photo it just looks flat, non metallic and I think that’s what the issue is. If it were to be the orange version of infrared I think that would probably make it look better… but hmm Yeah, the MP is not for me.

DLPTony

From what I’ve seen thus far, the MP (like the Incognito) changes with different lighting. There’s another thread where the color is quite sparkly, but it is a personal preference ultimately. Some folks absolutely hate my red interior, but the car isn’t right without it IMO. 😎

tapjoy - I can see why you feel that way and to be honest, I applaud you for being able to state your opinion without worrying of being flamed (lol). The thing with somewhat non-standard colors is that they can be very polarizing, they are often meant to create a very uniqueness about the product but as with anything polarizing, you will get those who will love it and those who will hate it. Mine is white and there is nothing polarizing about white, it is very vanilla and while some may like or not be a fan of it, people will often have less of a strong opinion about it. That being said, I agree with you that some of the pics on here have been either really nice or leaving me somewhat cold to the MP. That being said, I have seen some Lexus vehicle with this color (or shade of it) in the flesh and it always catches my eye and maybe it just doesn't photograph well. People always tell me I look far better "in the flesh" than in pics too (lol).

Where I stand by my statement is the Incognito - In some press pics and videos, I would find some that would make me go "OMG that is gorgeous" and other pic/video where I would be "Meh, not sure I like it" until I saw the actual car in the showroom at a dealer nearby (ANSWER's actual car) and that is where I was able to confirm that I LOVE the color in person!! To me, it was the dark wheels that I am not a big fan of (no offense to anyone here, it's just never been my thing on any cars or trucks) otherwise I would have likely gotten one.

All this to say that I feel that I have seen enough good pics and evidence in person that I am sure that I personally would love it I do wish they would have done a bit more orange stitching inside the vehicle to make it pop more (maybe even some orange seatbelts)....But I fully respect your opinion on the matter for sure.

DLPTony - I agree with the red interior. I have some friends that they dislike any red interiors and when they see mine, they feel it's as if I am trying to be a male gigolo. I get really offended by that statement TBH, I mean why would they say "I TRY" - The nerve...I am a MG (lol). But seriously, this is another great example. In pics, I was really on the fence about the red interior, I thought it was too much red and the red was too loud but in person, it is a whole different ball game and I am not sure I would go any other interior color for my 500. My dealer is trying to see if can get me a 2023 white/white and if they do, I will have some serious reflection to do because I really like the red now (although I was very fond of my white interior too)

LOL! My sister calls mine a pimp-mobile and every time she’s seen it, she’ll say: “So I guess the b**ch did have your money.” I hate her sometimes… 😂

Wonder why Lexus hasn't offered up the Nori Green Pearl as an option for the IS. I saw an LC500 with this colour in a showroom and it looked incredible. Very classy

TipsyTonio

Agreed. I think Nori Green, Flare Yellow, and Cadmium Orange are three colors that Lexus should absolutely do on the IS500. It will sell like hotcakes.

wthrman2

Not a fan of any shades of green except whats in my wallet. Yellow with black Enkei wheels would be hot as heck!!

TipsyTonio

Hey if you start hating that shade of green too just let me know. I'll gladly take that problem off your hands...

DLPTony

HA! Right! We’ll take one for the team. 😂
