The best colors for the new RX350
As soon as I sell my current car, I am buying a 2010 Rx350.
It's hard to choose a color only from pics though. I was wondering, from people who saw the RX in person, what is in your opinion the best color?
Completely subjective but I'm interested in your opinions.
Not black though... I hate seeing all the swirls and scratches on a black finish.

Silver looked great on the one I saw. White is also very nice as it hides the swirls you talk about quite nicely. White is also the easiest to keep clean.
I have a '09 RX silver exterior with black interior and I love it. I also had a BMW X5 with a silver exterior and black interior. And also a silver '06 GX with grey interior. Well, I am planning for another color for my next car. I have a natural tendency to lean towards silver because it is generally accepted as the universal color that looks great on any car.
Also when you want to sell the car, it is much easier to find a buyer compared to lets say, a red car.

Yes, my first choice is silver. The most cars I had were silver. I love it because even dirty it looks clean. But because I have a natural tendency towards silver, I was wondering about the other colors. Like the red? Does red work on the RX?

I looked at the Lexus site and they don't offer the 2010 in silver. They have a Tungsten Pearl which looks to me to be more white than silver.

Likewise my girlfriend has a Brandywine Mica (Dark Reddish) '09 RX with beige interior and she loves it. I appreciate the color as well, it's a darker shade, doesn't get dirty that easily, and is unisex.

definitely white
my wife's white IS250 is one year old
you can't find any swirl or scratch on it at all
my black 09 RX350 is only 4 days old
i already see swirl all over the place due to poor dealer prep

Ours is White and I think its the best. Doesnt show a thing.
You'll only make the mistake of buying a black car once in your life. I have a black M45 and despite all my very best efforts to keep it swirl free, the swirls are staring to appear after only 6 hand-washes. Ive learned my lesson.

I love the Matador Red.
