Default IS 250 is on its way. Just sold my CT

Got an email Tuesday saying my vehicle has been built and is in transit to a US port of entry. Looking at 2 weeks maybe? How long has everyone else waiting once they got the email?

I went ahead and sold my CT200h today in anticipation. Can't wait for the 250 to arrive. I'll post pics once I have it safe in the garage.

Did the same move as you. CT was well loved and I will miss the 50%+ savings in fuel cost but the IS is a better more rewarding car. Congrats.

Exciting! Pics will be more than welcome and since you had the CT like I, please post comparative feedback.

Picked up the car yesterday. 5 miles on the odo. A few observations . . .

1. Car feels solid. Much better than my previous CT.
2. Some materials inside do feel cheap but overall I like the interior over the CT.
3. Drives great compared to the CT. Better acceleration and great seats. Steering is a little soft.

A little over $37,000 including tax, license and dest.

Atomic Silver looks different depending on the lighting as everyone knows. Inside you get some of the gold and beige coming out while outside in the sun it's very refelctive and you get a nice metallic darker silver.
