Default 2013 IS F Release

The article on the home page about the 2013 IS F says the car should be hitting the dealerships "As we speak," but when I chatted with Lexus on the site the person told me they don't have a release date.

Anybody know or hear when the 2013 IS F will be available?

Thanks. I'm looking forward to the new IS F and getting one, so my patience is running low

Mechanical

Refined suspension tuning

i wonder what more tuning was done, maybe we can add it to our cars.

I wonder what the difference is from a 2012 as far as suspension tuning? I'll wait for the next gen and just enjoy my 2012... unless the dealer brings in an Ultra White to stock then ill consider trading my 2012 in...

The factory clock in Japan rolls in July/August... So look for the 2013's to hit the showroom floor by late August / September.

The production numbers for 2013 are going to be scaled back as well....

I guess what I should have asked, and what would be more beneficial to us, is when do you think Lexus will update the online configurator allowing us to build the 2013 IS F?

I've been speaking with my sales rep and the 2013 isf apparently hasn't even began production yet, only the 2013 250 and 350. So it probably wont be for another 2-3 months before we even see them on the showroom floor.

Both dealerships here told me not to expect to see many new IS'Fs at the dealership anymore. Maybe one in the show room at a time.. Seems you almost have to special order one these days.
