Most likely Hybrid only. Hence we in the USA won't see this...unless someone changes their mind!

I thought Lexus' goal was to have every model with a hybrid option? I'm really surprised they aren't bringing the hybrid IS here...

we have the diamond graphite g35x from 2005. its technically gray.
the IS looks great in silver and that would be our top choice for color.

Both silvers look amazing! I really love the interior on the Silver Lining ISh, very classy!

The bamboo looks really upmarket and distinctive. Wish we could have it in F-Sport GS and IS sedans.

My dream combination would be a GS or IS with F-Sport exterior and suspension tweaks with hybrid drivetrain and bamboo interior.

for instance, i just saw how 3IS will have 3D view for maps in the US... not so on 4GS yet

Yes, it was a great color. It evolved into Platinum Graphite, which isn't as nice.

I loved Millenium Silver. Had a 99 SC300, 01 GS430 and 03 SC430 in that color. The nice thing is that it goes with almost any color interior. Bring it back!

Looks fine. Nice safe choice.

What I really like is that bamboo trim.

I think it looks great! Of course it won't be available here.

I think Deep Sea Mica is the only color I haven't seen. Don't think I've seen the gray interior yet either.
