Manufacturers suggested retail price (MSRP) is $29,990 for the IS 250 rear-wheel drive with the six-speed manual transmission. The 2006 IS 250 includes $5,000 of additional standard equipment with only a $255 increase over the previous model. The IS 250 rear-wheel drive with six-speed sequential automatic transmission MSRP is $31,160 and includes Formula One- inspired steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. The IS 250 all-wheel drive MSRP is $34,285 and, in addition to the above features, includes a perforated leather-trimmed interior upgrade with heated and ventilated front seats and wood trim.
The IS 350, the fastest sport sedan in the near luxury car segment, MSRP is $35,440. Its highly tuned 3.5-liter engine delivers a best-in-class 306 horsepower and 277 lb.-ft. of torque, resulting in the quickest zero-to-60 mph time of any competitor sport sedan.

Careful with that $35K number. Start adding options at $2K a pop and you have a much more expensive vehicle, most likely approaching $45K.
I will say I'm happy with the $35K starting point for the IS350 as $45K loaded is exactly what I was expecting. Now if I could just FIND a loaded IS350...

I think the 350 pricing is where most everyone thought it would be. Now add NAV, ML and the Performance Luxury Package and it sits well with the Volvo S60R and the BWW 330 at $45,000 give or take a few dollars. That is right where I was hoping it would be.

The IS sport sedans' exceptional performance characteristics begin with two new direct-injection V6 power plants with Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) and dual exhaust. Mated to either a manual or automatic six-speed transmission, the 2.5-liter V6 shows considerable improvement in fuel economy versus the last generation IS 300. The robust 3.5-liter V6, mated to the sequential six-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission, carves out class-leading performance with a zero-to-60 time of 5.3 seconds.(1)

Option prices should be very close to the prices for the options on the GS. You can make a close extrapolation from the GS list. (Remember that unlike on the GS, sunroof on the IS is standard. OTOH, the GS has some stuff standard that are options on the IS.)

But I agree with everyone that it will be up to how much the option packages are.

So the IS250 AWD is $3000 higher than the IS250 RWD. Usually, the AWD premium for Lexus vehicles (RX and GS) is about $2000.
So, $1000 extra for heated/ventilated/perforated seats and wood?
