Yeah all of them do that. For sure on Gen 4 and 5 when you approach a turn or intersection during your NAV destination.

Definitely. I had to return to the IS world quickly! So quickly, I just hit 3k on the odometer tonight.

No unfortunately not. Unless you can swap with an 09 owner who dislike's their NAV & cd changer/headunit with the chrome trim on the center cluster, it will be a very expensive changeover...meaning replacing the whole navigation screen and cd changer headunit.

Haha I will eventually. I'm sure it will bug you to know the protective blue film on the accellerator pedal is there and the airbag warning label is still hanging off the glove box door.

Otherwise...I coulda pulled a Joe Z (sorry Joe no offense ) and drove around like this for a minute...

Flipside - Congrat's on your new ride! White is my fav in the F

Awesome pics (as always!).. I especially like the shot of the nose of the car with the Bridge in the background

Enjoy!

Congrats on your IS-F, looks like your having fun with it, I remember my first days with my IS250, I couldn't believe I had a Lexus all I could think about was getting out of the house and seeing my car. Now I really want an IS-F, it's just so amazing!

Very nice pics - sounds like you REALLY know your way around SF to find some of those spots.

I was just in LA on a road trip and tried to find my way up to park near the "HOLLYWOOD" sign but forgot the path to get up there. Do you know that area in socal?

None taken bro!!!

Mine came home with me "as is".. minus the wheel covers naturally..

PDI completed, Dealer Detail NOT COMPLETED!!

I enjoyed un-wrapping it after my 35 mile drive home and giving it the 1st proper wash..
