Nice to see the color palette being used

Thanks for the pics Gengar and Rominl

When looking at the color on the configuration it looked close to something often seen on Scion X boxes
This color is more blue
I am not sure about the comparison to the pastel crayon Smurf blue BMW used for the previous M3s though

That's a nice blue. Carbon blue which was last used on the seventh generation Celica would look great on the LFA.

That's right near me. Tacoma is about 15 minutes away.

I think this color looks great. Still though, my favorite LFA colors so far would be the bright red and the medium metallic blue. Hopefully we don't see any actually produced in pink!

I like the color because it make the lines of the car show. It's a cool color, something you might expect of a Lexus.

i would have gotten black interior though, the tan with this color is a bit to much.

The interior is actually white. Kind of hard to tell from the video posted. The slate blue looks a lot different (and in my opinion better) in person than in photos or on the lexus website. The car was on the showroom floor for a few days and the owner just took delivery of the car on the 27th.

Wow! That picture really brings out this color. Now, I have done a 180 and love this color.
