IS 500 F SPORT Performance Megathread

[Benito]

One of my all time favourite Lexus colours.💙

 

[Tragic Bronson]

Again, the wheels just don't match the exterior. If anything was a let down, its the wheels, but Lexus figures they'll just get tossed by the owner. 😁

That's it. I'm buying the IS500. 😍

Are we able to get the IS 350 BBS wheels on this IS500?

 

[James]

That's it. I'm buying the IS500. 😍

Do we know what the cost would be on the IS500 yet? I couldn't remember in the IS thread if there was a ball park price. Might need to reach out to my Lexus dealer....

The slow no news since HQ Confidential has been painful. I wish Lexus would throw us a bone and give us pics of the car in all available colors at least. Hoping later this month or early august we get pricing finally

 

[Sabelo]

Yes, I'm in love! IS500. Pity there's no RHD for our market..

 

[James]

So when do we get updates on pricing for both the IS 500 and the Launch edition? Fall is only like a few months away so for those of us that are looking to buy we need some prices! Official prices! Is it normal to not have pricing yet by this time?

Well the Launch Editions are all sold out now...

That's great to hear for Lexus! So what about the regular 500?

According to Gecko it looks like there are a lot of deposits put down but it isn't a limited run like the Launch Edition so I wouldn't expect anything too extreme in terms of allocations.

Please don't, we don't have pricing information either. Vehicles are allocated first, and sometimes before pricing is disclosed. The first thing we will find out is configuration, and it should mirror what you find in the current Dynamic Handling Package if you are familiar with that.

Only the launch edition vehicle features the BBS wheels from the DHP IS350

Not sure.

Pricing is always released very close to the sales date. Unfortunately all that can still be shared is it will be “aggressive”.

I am loving the sound of that! Ty for letting us know that

Sounds good but could you share whether if they are committed to push out more F products "aggressive-ly" too 😏

It'll be fun to see whether the press release or a dealer leaking the invoice comes out first.

The brochure with color and interior options and option packages is posted on the other place still no pricing though

 

[Gecko]

I really like the way the builds are spec'ed with only three basic option packages, but can someone tell me why on earth a car of this caliber only comes with Nuluxe interior seating?

I guess since it's what the other ISs offer, they aren't changing the seat materials, but that's a bit of a kick in the balls IMO.
