Yeah, traded my IS after almost three years, for the HS. My 50+ km stop/go commute was a factor. I missed owning a hybrid and too bad the IS 300h is not here or I'd be in one. So far enjoying the HS as an alternative and averaging a frugal 6.7 L/100 km vs 11.2 for the IS (on 91 octane)
As for color, I know Atomic Silver has its rave reviews, but the "beige/titanium" tones do not appeal to me. I prefer more vibrant colors
. But, what impresses me about this color is the exceptional depth, luster. and multi-tones depending on angle and sun light.
Oh and Black Sapphire Pearl is one of my favorites as well, on my HS... Looks very dark navy blue in bright light but looks black in shade or night time.
