Hello peeps

Another typical newbie question coming,one i didn't think a search would find an answer to(waits to be corrected,lol) but...

I am picking up a 'Royal Sapphire Blue' IS200 today and wanted to know what the difference was between this and 'Strathcaron Blue'(spelling ).

Cheers all :winky:

There are tow different shades of blue, i think they changed it after 2003 (not 100% when) the newer blue is darker and looks better IMO :)

Stratchcarron is slightly lighter shade, as if it had more metallic flakes in it - it looks better and sportier.......

Royal Sapphire was up to 2001. (The first and best blue)....

Strathcaron 2001 to 2004....(bit wishy washy :) )

Montrose Blue 2004 on (( the darkest blue, but possibly not quite so metalic)

[Straight-Six]

Im with you there Bobski,i love the colour i have. :winky:

So they just modified the blue as the years went on then :)

I have to say i picked the car up yesterday afternoon and drove from Sheffield to Newcastle and it was great,love the cruise control,felt weird but great

D'oh!!!

I got the older, darker blue.

Must admit... Prefer the newer one.
