Spotted: The 2016 Lexus ES 350 in Atomic Silver

Please pardon me as this is my third post in this thread, but I just had to comment again:

Atomic Silver cannot be captured truly in photos. You have to literally see it to appreciate how different it is from anything out there that is silver. We traded our Silver Lining Metallic RX in on an Atomic Silver NX. The two colors are totally different! And the amazing thing is how different the color looks in different lighting.

I'm with you CIF. It is absolutely my favorite color too. This color could make a Yugo look good . . . well, maybe not.

Sonic Titanium as it's called in other markets, is probably the best way to describe this color because it's less of a "silver" and much more like the color of the element titanium.

RAL, echoing your point, there's a fluidity and depth that no camera has been able to capture and represent in a 2D photo that is only truly appreciated in person. Hmm, and I bet even that 45K Hasselblad posted last week cannot capture the complexities of this paint.

Yes, titanium is a very good comparison and analogy. Pictures definitely do not do the color justice. The best way I can put the color into words is "liquid metal titanium" .

Yes, it sounds a lot like the Titanium Gray I've seen on some Audis, Fords, and Dodges. If so, you've got a point....the effect is striking.

It looks really interesting!!
And I really like how in the Middle-East specially in the UAE, its still a big hit for the ES. Cause its used for VIP taxies around the county!
Its more like special taxi that you ask for... like #UBER taxi

Hi Hamed,

I was in the UAE, about 6 months ago, and I could not spot any NX.
Is the NX not immediately successful there ?

I've seen 2 so far here in the UAE. Not sure how successful it is but it didn't take off like the LX.

Not sure about how successful, but 6 months ago i don't think it was launched in the middle east.

Agreed, its an amazing color.

I'm talking more about the ES 2011 to 2014

Yeah for sure it did not take over the LX however, the ES is mostly used for taxies

Yeah for the NX I would say in my own opinion it won't be very successful like in Europe of the US
And people would prefer the RX more!!

I think it would look great with a F Sport grille...

 

[PaulA]

Hmm, to be honest, I liked it better at the reveal. Perhaps it's the angle and lighting, but the grill has too many visible horizontal lines reminiscent of an air conditioner grille. I'll reserve final judgment with better pics or seeing it in person.

Now that's a creative observation!

My first thought was the mouth of a Humpback Whale......lol

I have a 2013 ES and love the whole front end presentation.

Color caught my eye and I actually test drove an Atomic Silver last week. Ended up purchasing a Matador Red Mica / Parchment Lexus ES350 instead.

Welcome new member! . . . and Congratulations on your new ES! . . . Luv your avatar!

Wow! As some here already know, I'm absolutely in love with Atomic Silver, so any Lexus I see with that color automatically looks amazing .

I absolutely love how the ES looks with this color !

Agreed. I refuse to own a plain silver gray car. I do like this atomic silver.

Today I saw a new LS in Liquid Platinum. Not quite Atomic Silver, but still a nice silver color. I definitely admired it, as it looked good .
