Default Lexus ISprecision?

Have you guys seen the new ISprecision commercial? It features an ultrasonic blue is250/350 fitted with F-tuned parts including suspension...and on top of that it has F-sport badges just like the IS-F. So the point is, I thought only the IS-F and some of the IS-C's came in the ultrasonic blue oem paint? Shouldn't the ultrasonic blue and F badges be exclusive to us F guys. I have obsidian, but I am sure you ultrasonic blue guys aren't happy....

I just looked it up...that is B*ll S*(t!!!! I really don't care if they offer the USB in other IS models, but if they start offering F sport tuned IS350s that have the F logos in the same places, I am going to be pissed.

That would because that is an f-sport option for the IS350, just like the x package and what not. You can check out lexus' website for the option, its a 2500 dollar option to make the IS350 look like an F. You can only get USB on the F sport IS350, the standard IS will not have that as a color option.

Just noticed its an option for the IS250 as well.

You do lose the A/C seats if you choose this package.

USB is a great color, but once it was slated for the IS C, the ISx50 would be next- but only as a part of the f-sport option. it only enhances the F performance line with the IS F and f-sport vehicles. i dont think they were "F" logos, but rather f-sport logos. they kinda looked alike, but it you gotta really look at it to see which logo is on there.

Looks like they do not have the front over fender or whatever it's called.

Looks like a marketing scheme to me. Lexus decided that more sales can be had if they made a regular IS look more like an IS-F.

Old trick done by other car manufacturers to boost sales in the same way that say a Nissan Skyline GTS-t owner will add kits to make their car look like a GTR.

At the end of the day, it may look closer to an IS-F but it does not make it one.

Not worried one bit especially one I have no say so or control over.

Personally I think its a great option, its a great compromise for the better half seeing how its not as powerful as the full F. Not to mention 20k cheaper.

My girl wants the car in the commercial so BAD...loves the combo.

But I have been a complainer since the first day I hear a IS-C or IS350 could come in USB.

This color is only for the F-Sport version, you can't have this color on a non-F-Sport IS.

Well in SoCal... I can see a "C" 1-3 times a week...

Where as I get to see an "F" maybe 1-2 times a month..
