Compared to this, I'm seeing 2 different colors. Must be lighting inside, right?

Yesterday I went to the Anaheim car show and saw the IS. It was a great car, very nice interior, back seat were decent at least bigger than my civics and just looked very sporty. I saw the red (really red) displayed IS 350 with the Mark Levinsion system which you couldn’t touch that was a bummer, but they a had a basic 350 and a 250 on display for the crowd. So I started talking to one of the reps there and slowly by slowly I tired to get out some type of pricing out of him and he told me that prices should range from $39,000-$46,000 for the IS 350. Truly I think that is too high where you can get a 330i fully loaded around 45k with pretty good negotiating skills. He also said that there will definitely not be any ML in any of the current IS’s until start of next year. I don’t know how much reliable this guys facts are about pricing but if pricing is really going to be around what he said, its going to be really hard for Lexus to compete in this segment.
Before I forget he also mentioned basically majority of the dealerships have these cars in stock they’re just not allowed to reveal them to the customers. My guess is if they really do have them in stock then our sales rep should know the pricing because I’m sure the stickers are on the windows.

It's not bad info, it's reality.

I saw your quote. Anchors are NOT part of the memory settings as confirmed by flipside. Here's a quotr from the IS Dealer Education book...
Three-position memory system for front seats, steering wheel and outside mirrors.
