Default 2006 Is 250-350 Pricing?

Has anyone seen any pricing info on the 2006 IS?

I've heard anything from 25K for a 250 with 6sp, cloth, no sunroof base car to 47K for a fully loaded 350 with Pre-Collision and everything.

I think pricing is supposed to be released on Monday the 15th.

However, some current estimates state $30,500 for base 250, $32,500 for 250 AWD, and $36,500 for 350.... supposedly 42-45k completely loaded.

We shall soon see....

My dealer is saying $45 to 46,000 for a fully loaded 350. But he is just speculating until the actual numbers come out.

Default Dealers are funny

My sales guy said that they are figuring that a loaded up 350 won't top 42K, as they know people will run to BMW if it does. He also quoted a base (including destination) of 35-36K that he supposedly got from a conversation with their Lexus corporate rep.

The advantage that the lower-end Lexus's have always had over BMW is the list of standard features. EVERYTHING is optional on BMW's, and they get pricey VERY quickly.

The new M3 with the V8 in it will probably START around 60... Educated guess: $49,990

$47K for a loaded IS350, I would rather get a base M3 (W/ 4 years/50K miles service schedule maintainance included).
