You were probably like: “Holy crap, freaking finally!” 😂

One thing I've noticed in following this thread is that not only is the IS 500 a great looking car, it looks great in every color it comes in. While there are certain colors I prefer, none of them hide the lines or result in the car looking any 'less' that it does in any other color. Lexus really nailed it.

100% agreed. It is just such a beautifully sculpted car.

Freaking FINALLY! My sighting drought has ended, saw an LE when I merged on the highway this morning. He slowed and we both waved.

Well…I’m assuming he waved, the tint was jet black dark! 😂

Woot! Woot! Had another sighting this afternoon on I-85 N! It was a Stormtrooper with a red interior, tried to slow down to say ‘Howdy!’, but dude was actually doing the speed limit. Tony needed to skidaddle. 😈

If you’re on here; the car looked GREAT!!

Not sure if this counts as in the "wild" but stopped by the dealership and they had another blue vector so I had to take a picture near it.

::heehee:: You’re on the edge, but the 150 unit ‘rarity factor’ gives it the necessary umph to be allowed. 😜 🏁

I wish I could've gotten a photo, but yesterday I saw a Caviar IS500 in Snellville while I was driving. I think it had the black Enkeis. Stealthy!
