New IS has received an incredible response since its debut at the Detroit Motor Show in January, and we can now reveal the full lowdown on the car.
The line-up includes the first full-hybrid IS, the IS 300h, as well as the petrol-powered IS 250. Both versions feature rear-wheel drive and will be available in Lexus F Sport specification. All versions of the third-generation IS showcase Lexus’ new focus on rewarding driving experience and bold design, featuring the brand’s signature spindle grille.
The entry-level IS 250 SE is priced from £26,495, while the IS 300h SE will cost £29,495. The IS 300h will use the new 2.5-litre full hybrid system, announced at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, giving it CO2 emissions below 100g/km and zero car tax.
Lexus dealers have opened their order books today, and the first customer deliveries will be made from mid July.
The IS range comprises four grades – SE, Luxury, F Sport and Premier. Here’s the breakdown on how they are specified.

Compared to America, yes cars are more expensive in the UK. For instance, they pay engine displacement taxes as well the Vehicle Excise Duty (tax band based on vehicle emissions) that they have to pay every year among other things.

previously Lexus IS250 base was 26226 GBP and F-Sport was 30396 GBP...
As much as I know base didnt have HIDs standard... so it is good price.
on the other hand, top model was 31196 GBP, but i think it had ML and NAV as options.

another good thing - it has been speculated that the price of hybrid will be half of the difference between GS250 and GS450h, but it is 1/3 of the GS450h "upgrade" price, so thats really good.
GS300h will be priced $10k less than GS450h basically.

How big is the standard nav screen in the 3 series, A4 and C class?

well standard they dont have screens at all, while 3IS has it... so I like it :-).
I will not buy nav for 3IS if I get it, it is too expensive... and finally it wont look like crap without it. Because 2IS without nav didnt look like a luxury car.
I like this nav a lot... it looks good and I dont mind 7" size of display audio screen... it is also all glass so actual size of the glass is bigger, and overall it has a nice look to it. In GS, we have plastics around standard screen size, which doesnt look good.
its built to fit the price and i like that because I can get f-sport and be happy with it for not much money :-)

In any case, this is how standard screens look like (like in GS i guess)
it looks like you got gimped version of the car... 3IS does not have that, it is perfectly integrated so good for them.
