This is as good of a picture you will found of the Ultrasonic Blue and Matador Red Mica together, they nicely show the complexity of the colors. great pics Ryan !

Good pics Ryan, the OP should enjoy them since he can see the contrast of the two colors side by side. To the OP, what color is your F now if you don't me asking?

Default Color!

I think blue is hotter, but red is more exclusive. This is coming up from a guy who bought white over blue because that's what wifey wanted.

From those 2, I'd have to choose the red. Love all the 'F' colours, but I've always had a love affair with reds and would choose that one over the blue, despite the 'extra attention' from our boys in blue.

I have to agree with this. The red is stunning, but USB is an exclusive color to the F.

Maybe you typed what you meant backwards? The red is hot but the Blue is more exclusive with it being ONLY on the IS-F

Not for long. Ultrasonic Blue will be available on the IS Convertible coming later this year.

I meant other meaning, I've seen the blue ISF 3 separate times, I've never seen any other color for the ISF on the road... and I've seen blue and silver the most at dealerships. I've only seen one red and 2 whites at dealerships.

So, even though the blue is exclusive, to me it seems that most ISF's come in that color, besides silver. I don't know how many in each color Lexus makes, but this is from what I noticed here in Long Island.

I went back and forth on this very issue and thought I would get bored of the blue. The red is beautiful.
