The IS350C in USB will have a 13% build(3rd lowest with MRM at 6% and CBM at 0%=special order)
..since you will have 70% of the production in IS250C's and only 29% IS350C's, then only 13% of those being USB... you get my point I had to take statistics twice..
(0.7*.13)+(0.29*.13) = 12.87% of all IS-C will be USB according to your stats.

May I have an ISF now? Cuz I can do probabilities better than you?

Ok Ok.... I agree.. The USBM should have just remained for the F.... "It makes it more Special" ..

Either way looks like the USBM IS-C will be just as rare as an USBM IS-F..
Well it will be more rare on the F according to my calculator,

I don't think we would want this blue leather interior in our F's...

Sorry Joe, I also agree that USB should have been an F only color.

Guess Cathafer is going to have to paint her car a different color so D2 can build some cool new shoes.
No worries... I agree on the stealth mode..!!!

I went from SGM IS350 to SGM IS-F...

Orignally, came from a 2001 Graphite Gray Pearl IS300..

USB should have been an IS-F exclusive as well. Why not introduce solar yellow for the IS-F in 2010.

[/FONT] On the street, the ultrasonic blue paint is one of the things that makes it immediately identifiable as an IS-F, and distinguishes it from other IS's on the road. To me personally, it just serves to add some caché to the nameplate to have colors exclusively available on the IS-F.

Agree'd I saw an USB IS-C today and thought some maniac cut the roof off his IS-F not gonna lie if I ever painted my IS-350 another color it probably would have been USB or something close to it

Saw my first IS-C yesterday. At first glance looked like the BMW 135. Kind of boxy on the roof line. Well see, definitely goes after a different market.

i went to the tarrytown lexus drive this past weekend and they stated lexus has decided to not offer those blue colored seats anymore.

btw, i drove the silver f-sport 350c and thought is was pretty boring, especially compared to the 335 drop-top.
