Just wondering... Thanks!
parchment/ivory/cashmere.... They are all pretty close to that same light tan color.

I said cashmere because our 2006 IS had the cashmere...

2010 RX is much improved from 2005 RX330. Less wind noise, much less road noise, just right steering feel and just perfectly sized with pretty good gas mileage [avg 19-20]. Starfire with cream color interior is the best combo.

My wife and I chose the Cerulean Blue with Parchment interior #1 because she liked it the best, and #2 because every dealer that we visited did not have any in stock or coming in. Some had the Cerulean Blue with the Gray interior but they all said that the Cerulean Blue with Parchment was a rare and hard to find color combo which to us, made it that much more desirable because we only see White, Black and Silver on the roads and we wanted at least some exclusivity on a very popular vehicle. All the local dealers said that you won't find a Cerulean Blue/Parchment, non-navigation vehicle unless you order it, so it became a challenge for us to locate one and we did, with a very upstate dealer.

Went with Truffle Mica but had to take it home overnight for the wife to sign off on it since it is her car. Love the color! Went with parchment interior. Posted pics of the Truffle exterior on another thread if people want to get a feel for the color - there just weren't enough good pics anywhere so we took matters into our own hands

I think it will stand the test of time just fine! Excited to get to drive it. Haven't even had a chance to sit in it since driving it home from the dealership last week!

I have the Ceruleun Blue with parchment interior and I love it. It almost has a pearl/white overtone to it which makes it very pretty.

Our Cerulean Blue with Parchment is coming in on Wednesday. We are really looking forward to it. I like to think of it as a Silver Blue and we also liked the Pearl White a lot, so your description sounds good. Please feel free to post any pictures of yours. Thanks.

Wow, I guess I got lucky...when we went to test drive the 2010, they pulled up a demo (only had 40 miles on it) that was Cerulean Blue with Parchment interior, and Nav. For some reason the drivers seat was more comfortable than the other ones I had sat in. They only had Cerulean Blue with gray interior on the lot, so we ended up buying the one I test drove.

Matador red was my first choice, but I could only find what I wanted in Smokey Granite Mica. After having the car for a couple of weeks, I'm glad this is what I ended up with. The combination of the smokey grey, tinted windows, and chrome just looks so sharp and luxurious!
