^^ What a great shot almost as if it can be a official Lexus Brochure shot.

It's better than the visibly compressed shots Lexus used for the original 2022 shots. Yeah this needs to be in an ad. It can use the classic Porsche 911 Turbo ad tagline, "Kills Bugs Fast."

Yeah, 21+ 300 & 350's are a dime a dozen in NYC and NJ. They're almost exclusively AWD tho, so even the 300's have the V6, which i heard can be brought up to the power of the 350 with just some ECU tinkering, as it's the same exact engine

My brain has been looking for IS 500's in the wild for the last year and I think I might have seen one driving in the distance once here in the Austin/Round Rock area. One, maybe or it was an IS 350 F Sport, who knows as it was not parked? At least I see one every day now.

Lexus should offer you a new car in exchange for using your photo .

Spotted a Molten Pearl IS500 over at Hawk Hill in the SF bay area this past Sunday. Didn't snap a pic, but I was also in my Iridium IS500.

My friend saw me on the freeway when I was heading north to visit my parents. She texted me this photo later, hope this sort of counts as a "spotted"

LOL! I think so! That’s the one bad thing about having a special color, car-shenanigans can’t be done everywhere….anonymously. 😂👍🏽

Love the orange. Not my color personally but I love it on other people's cars. If I buy this car it's Infrared w/ White interior. USB w/ red would be a close 2nd. Grecian water also looks great. This car would also look good in a teal or purple color.
