Default 2012 IS-F (rare color combo) mercury silver with red interior

WOW!! This is the most amazing IS-F color combination I've ever seen - I like it! If I was looking for a 2012 IS-F, I'd definitely will check this one out.

MSRP $67k

It may not be rare in the near future. You can get the black, white, or red interior with any exterior color.

I think it would look great in the UBM.

That's called the Superman color combo.

I've got my eye on that one. We will see how my buy-back goes with Lexus.

The red interior would look great in Obsidian Black.

That's the same color combo that Lexus had at the LA Auto Show. I liked it a lot in person.

ugly. Looks out of place. Too much red on the seats...and they didnt even change the color on the F logo. Too much red in the seats not enough black. Red inserts with black sides would break it up some and definitely if they changed the blue background on the F logo to red it would make more sense. To me it looks like someone with bad taste got their interior done.

I think its just missing something to make it look "right"...maybe some red highlights in the doors or on the floor matts or something.

i like red/black combo but they should break it up better then that and maybe not put ALL of it in the seats

IMO - of course.

Hmm, i also think it does not flow properly. I am a big fan of white exterior and red interior though! That would definitely be my choice.

Maybe rare, but not unique. The Silver/Red color combo is a very classic combination. Check old school Mercedes, Porsches, Jaguars, and Vettes. It can be a stunning combination. I dont mind it here either.

wow, i really like this. i just wonder how the red leather would show wear and tear compared to other, more forgiving colours. but in the condition, beautiful.
