I totally respect that. I was dead set on Infrared on black originally, but later tried to buy two Atomic Silvers over red. Was tempted by a couple of Iridiums. But for some reason, when I was notified about a Molten Pearl allocation, I said yes.

Spotted this Molten beauty this morning on the way to work.


Started to take pic and leave. Being the gregarious type that I am. I said no, I have to meet this connoisseur of fine automotive machinery. Parked my 500 next to it and went on inside. Asked for the person with incredible taste in automobiles and I met the owner. She is a great lady! We talked 500 stuff and took the next picture of the cajun cousins!


Truly a beautiful color that is most appreciated in person. So if I can find a couple more in Louisiana, we can have a cars and coffee morning! GIDDY UP!

I’m curious, why isn’t Molten an option on the Lexus website?

As the color relates to the 23 IS500, it is a limited edition offering on 150 units. for this model year. The color has been available from time to time on other models.

We’re walking along Waikiki Beach and a beautiful LE just drove by. Nine hour flight later and I can’t get away from the IS 500

…and I love it!

On Sunday morning it was available on the Lexus website as an option package, but when I checked again yesterday, it was not available. I think that may indicate they're all gone/sold. I bought mine on Sunday Feb. 26; may have been one of the last ones!

@wthrman2 looks like somebody copied you and slapped 350 wheels on a 500
