Its annoying that they refer the the transmission as a paddle shifted automatic.
The paddles are basically decoration, such a shame. They're perfectly located, perfect shape and effort, but the tranny doesnt listen to them.

I'm digging the brown! I think that's the same color as the ct200h also?
edit: nvm it is.

Glacier Frost Mica isn't silver, it's white with pearls that reflect blueish purple and give a hue to the white. Tungsten Pearl is silver.

Still not crazy about brown but I do think this one is going to look pretty hot
I wonder if the IS will get it? I would like to see any car this color to get a better feel for it
Sorry about the size, tried to save the image to resize but it only saves as a thumbnail.

Is this a new color though? Maybe it will show up on the 3IS

That brown reminds me of Vip Auto Salon's LS600HL's color. It looks amazinggg in person.

Looks a lot like the gray you see on BMW's don't know the name of the color though. This will probably look good on the ISx50 F sport
