Default How rare is my Truffle Mica 2010 LS460L?

I just picked up my new to me 2010 LS460L. It's Truffle Mica with the tan leather. It has all available for the 460 like the driver monitoring system, radar cruise, back seat controls with radio control etc. Doing some research I seemed to find that this color was only available on the 600HL in launch editions and the pebble beach edtion. Anyone know anything about this? I am brand new to this forum.

It was one of the colors available for both the 460 and 600 in MY 2010. Google "2010 Lexus LS brochure" for details.

Congratulations on your acquisition!

Thats the same color combo my 2010 ES was. Nice color.

Its pretty rare, but not terribly rare. That color came out on the 08 and 09 Pebble Beach and Launch editions of the LS and ES and some other models, and then entered the rotation as a regular color from 2010-2012

Actually, 2010 was the last year that Truffle Mica was offered on LS models.

Availability by year was as follows from 2010 through 2012:

Deep Sea Mica - all
Matador Red Mica - all
Mercury Metallic - all
Obsidian - all
Peridot Mica - all
Satin Cashmere Metallic - all
Smoky Granite Metallic - 2010 and 2011
Starfire Pearl - all
Truffle Mica - 2010
Nebula Gray - 2012

Note that not all colors were offered on all models of the LS. For example, Matador Red was unavailable on the 600.

It was offered on the ES until 2012, interesting it was just that one year on the LS.

It drives and looks amazing. I am removing the clear bra that was put on when the car was brand new today.

The biggest problem I have with driving my car is all the women, young and old alike, want to ride with me. It's just such a Chic magnet. But, do look good so it might just be me.

Read the comments and it looks like my LS460 is ultrare 2007 in Truffle Mica

However looking on you inside dash, the center console looks different then mine. You have the black bar under the navigation screen and then the buttons. I have the navigation screen, buttons and then the black bar.

Regarding Truffle Mica, do you guys also have a big difference colorwise on the rear bumper? I straight away checked my car for rear damage with proffesionals and there was no proof of being damage by accident. However the rear bumper color seems off to me compared to the rest of the car.
