Interesting appeal on the '06 PB Edition SC. Like a couple others have mentioned, I love the look of the new headlights and tailights, as well as the lower airdam and the wheels. Props to Liz for sharing the pics, and Henry for his thoughts

The thing that gets me is the name of the color, Tiger Mica. What kind of a name is that to describe the brown color of the car? When I think of Tiger Mica, I think of orange and black, and this car doesn't resemble like that at all. But then again, I don't want to see an orange/black color combo on an SC

It's Tiger Eye Mica to be exact & Tiger eye is the name of a semi-precious stone with a similar brownish color .

I think it looks awesome in person in a way thats hard to get fromt he pics. I too feel I want a little more zip and sex appeal from my two seaters, but in person it all coems together pretty well.

i saw it last week, and true, it's a nice combo w/ the camel. (i have a Coach purse that would go great with this car!) but the "mica" is hard to see - i think that's the problem. it just looks like liquid chocolate or poo (sorry to gross you out). the brown is just tooo brown it is distinct and unique, no doubt. will turn heads because it's sooo brown ... the only question is, will it get cringes or thumbs up?

someone mentioned in my other thread that it looked like the color of UPS trucks, and i saw one at our office the other day and you know what? it is not too far off someone should call UPS and offer the CEO one of the PBs!

I think they usually are easy to see only under bright sunlight . . .

I wonder when Lexus will get someone to design a good looking wheel. These are better but still lackluster.
