A reflective article includes an injection molded thermoplastic substrate, and a reflective metal layer disposed on a surface of the thermoplastic substrate. The injection molded thermoplastic substrate is prepared from a pre-blended composition including specific amounts of two poly(phenylene ether)s having different intrinsic viscosities, an atactic polystyrene, and, optionally, a hydrogenated block copolymer of an alkenyl aromatic compound and a conjugated diene. The reflective article is lighter and less costly than comparable reflective articles based on heat-resistant polycarbonates. Also described are a melt-blended composition derived from the pre-blended composition, and an injection-molded article prepared from the melt-blended composition.
