It's great!!!! I love the teaser site, and I am interested in the 'IS photo mosaic'...

...also thought the color-customized instrument panel is amazing!!!! The colors are great too.

Only one error--the 'interior trim' caption in 'Luxury' talks about HP.

And the forum's not up yet...but at least it's open--earlier I tried access and it was password-protected.

Lexus is going all-out with the New IS---the promotion is phenomenal!!! Not to mention up in Flushing Meadows NY they'll be sponsoring the US Open...I think the prize is a GS but if Lexus sponsor Andy Roddick wins, he might opt for an IS.

And, I wonder if the 'zoom' sound of the IS at the bottom where it says 'sign up for more info' sounds like the real IS...

I am so in love with this car, but i would hate to pay MSRP for it, so i will be waiting for few months.

I have dabbled in photo mosaics, there's some cool online programs that let you make your own. I wish I could be in Times Square to see the real thing.

...and I suppose we just discovered the site? I don't see it linked to Lexus.com or anything...maybe linked to flash ads on other sites.

it just came online at midnight....look at the thread with the Q&A with a LEXUS ENGINEER...he says that it would go online on August 3rd, and we just got on at the beginning

there will surely be a link from lexus.com

so you submit a photo, and you may be put on a mosaic of the Lexus IS in times square?

Cool site indeed, some minor bugs here and there notwithstanding.

The implementation of photomosaic is particularly interesting, where you can zoom in and move around freely to see all the little pics that constitute the new IS.

It seems that there will be no non-wood interior trim offered? Or is that due to the disclaimer "not all trim levels are shown"?
