Wow, never really gave silver much thought in terms of color choices, but I must say under the light and the heavy shine of the wax, looks pretty good. Matches with the brush metal interior well too. Would have liked had it had the turn signal on the mirrors too. Not too different from a "regular" IS, but then again the M3 isn't all that different from a 3xx either.
This should sell well.

Hey Letz250:

Do you have any other pictures of the silver IS-F from a distance of the whole car?

Anyone notice what looks like a side mirror folding button? Hope that feature is available for US model.

Chu...

I was wondernig if you know or anybody else, if Lexus is FINALLY going to release the specs on the ISF at this show. I think that I speak for a lot of people here that are getting sick of waiting to hear the final specs on this car. Enough is enough already, to drag it out this long better deliver nothing short of a huge surprize.

The F badge, the side marker and the vent, looks cluttered. Finally, the a black interior IS-F.

Notice the engine cover...it's textured with the F badge in a different location since Detroit. Evolution of a vehicle from pre-production form to almost final.



Here's what I took a few weeks ago in Monterey:


Here's what I took in Detroit back in January:

Looks carbon fiber-ish too!

Silver looks really hot!

I noticed that too. The white IS-F that was at Santa Anita two last month had a painted Glacier Frost Mica engine cover...

Suggestions for Lexus;
-Include an improved Solar yellow
-Make the red brighter
-Change the names of the colours.... Tarmac black, Fuji White....it is a sport sedan after all.
