IS 250 Limited Edition

Did anyone else notice the breaks on the photo have the 350 brake set. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm almost positive they slipped up somewhere.
On topic, I wish it wasn't two tone saddle and the metallic black finish on the console was available on other vehicles. Cool to set up a limited edition for those who love these changes, but it would have been nice to have these available on an IS350.

EDIT: As Jeff Lange has posted the 4-piston calipers do fit under 17 inch rims. However, Its still a mistake on Lexus's part.

Yes, I believe they slipped up. I believe you need at least 18 inch rims to fit the 4-piston calipers of the IS350 in the picture. But the "special edition" includes 17 inch rims. They also slipped up on the "regular" IS250 saying it has 2 piston calipers, when we all know thats not true.
Yeah it looks like they photoshopped a lot of IS350 pictures in order to "build" some pictures of the special edition. I bet once the car is actually delivered, it will look different from what is shown in these "photos".
The red car on the top of the page also has the incorrect F-Sport grilles.
Someone doing these photos was off their game that day, lol.

Reminds me of the the 2008 Chevy Malibu pictures with the two tone saddle leather....

man i hope they reconsider this thought because I don't see this turning out well...the two-tone seats is a no-no they suspensions maybe but not on no damn 17inch wheel...why is Lexus going backwards....put some 19s that would make it something special and limited....just my 02. cents

On a side topic, I went to the Canadian website and Lexus no longer offers the manual transmission of the IS250; I truly they reconsider this as I love moving through the gears on the road

Plenty of today's best cars have two-tone leather. Looks good here and I applaud Lexus to include it. Just don't care for the lack of wood trim.
Also in the photoshop above, the base 17" wheels are faking so bad to look the same size as the 18"ers. Shame on Lexus if that's where they originated from.

I saw one of these for sale at a non Lexus lot. I thought the seats with the saddle insert were aftermarket.
I believe the 17s were used to get rid of the excess inventory since most of the 250 RWD models had the 18s and the 2014 model has a different style.
If it is equipped with the vented seats, it will interest me.
