That's just a general feature explanation for all Lexus vehicles, including the LS which has the automatic anchors and the IS which does not.

The automatic seatbelt anchors are only available on the LS430. The definition you quoted is a general glossary of items which wasn't edited to reflect the other models.

For Nor cal folks, there's one IS250 at Steven creek Lexus and i just checked it out today. This was my first time seeing the car in person and I was blown away by how well the car is built! It’s just amazing. The fit and finish is just wayyyyyy far superior to the 3 series and there's no comparison, IMHO. I didn’t get a chance to get to drive it since it was a demo and no one was allowed to test drive it. But I did get a chance to sit inside and play around with navi and all those cool stuff. I just cant wait to have my own IS350!

I sat in it last Tuesday. It is a nice vehicle. I too was impressed, overall. But was however, disappointed by the fit of the new dash material against the nav/display molding. It seemed to be uneven and lifting in spots.

Yep we had a sneak preview of it last wekeend. It was fresh off the truck from Long Beach a few days prior to our big EOS v.4 meet last weekend. We sat in it when it was still wrapped in plastic hiding in the back of the service center. Here it is unwrapped at our meet:

Those last two pics are amazing. Again, I am stunned by how expensive the new IS looks...how coupe-like its sleek lines are...truly amazing.

And like the GS, the shape seems to morph somewhat with each angle...very visually stimulating, and so amazing.
