Of course Pink and Powder blue would only appeal to very few people. I don't think that is the case with glacier frost mica. I think many people simply just don't know enough about it. Maybe they should have named it "white glacier frost". Glacier frost mica is appealing and probably a better alternative to the common starfire pearl. When people think of white, they most commonly say they want a white or a pearl white so the salesman automatically assumes they want the starfire pearl and don't go out of their way to show them the glacier frost or perhaps there isn't one in the dealer for a fair comparison of the two colors and perhaps they don't want to complicate the sale, and just leave it at that. I didn't know how nice glacier frost was until I saw an IS driving around with it. I'd bet that more than a handful of people who bought starfire probably slapped themselves on the forehead after seeing glacier frost.

The Lease on my BMW is over in Jan 08. I'm deciding between a glacier frost IS 350 with nav, or a base model IS-F depending on how easy those will be available when they hit the dealerships. I want to stay under 50k. I'm also thinking of the new Audi A5 which will debut somewhere in the spring time of 08. I should have been a proud owner of an IS 350 back in late 2005 but nobody could get the color combo I wanted back then (starfire or glacier with black interior nav package which ever came first) and I got sick of waiting and signed a 2 year lease on a fully loaded white bmw 325 w/sports package which turned out to be a semi fun car. Any suggestions out there as to what I should get? I'm probably leaning towards an IS 350 and this time around I'll be open to a grey interior as well as black, i'm bored of tan interior for now since that is what my bmw has. Any suggestions?

I think glacier frost mica is way better. There is one driving around my neighborhood and I always thought it was like a deep rich pearl white. In comparison, the starfire kind of looks like a flat base white, nothing special, just a white car, dime a dozen, whereas the glacier frost looks like a more expensive and rare paint. Just my opinion.
