Sady, I'm skeptical as well. I've been trying to get an '06 ST/ML/Nav since May. Unfortunately, I can't prove it's true until I get it.... I was told that it's the first '07 to the Houston area.

Cool

Sup fellas, I'm new to this forum (i.e 2 days) but I am hooked to the forum as I spend like couple hours browsing through it. I just wanted to know some things about the IS 350...

Three things:
1) What is "ST" stand for?
2) Anyone know for sure when the 2007s are coming out besides the rumor about October?
3) Do you guys think that the price for IS 350 (2006) will go down when the 2007s come out?

1) ST is an internal code designation for Sport Package.
2) 2007 models should already be in showrooms starting late August into early Sept.
3) Pricing on the 06's are already great if you find the right dealership for the right deal.

I heard IS500 is coming out in the 07, the guy from the autoback said their computers already had the model in it. He said its coming out for sure... but who knows?

Which Houston dealer? Which salesperson?
What was the price, before Texas tax?
(Yep, I'm at I10 and 610, and I want an IS350...)

I special ordered mine in may as well and it is scheduled to arrive at the end of august as well. My dealer says it will be an 07 and not the 06 that i ordered. did you get a better price in texas than louisiana?

The Baton Rouge dealership didn't seem very interested in ordering a car for me, so I went with Sterling McCall in Houston. I've got the VIN and it's supposed to be in Houston on the 23rd.

You're the 3rd person I've heard from that placed an order for an 06 and is getting an 07 at the end of August. What's the story your dealer told you?

What discount are you getting off MSRP for the 2007 Nav ML Lux you're ordering? Let's talk prices, folks!

MSRP!
I was told that there's someone willing to take the car if I backed out. True or not, I guess it's the price you pay (heh) for getting an 07 this early in the model year.

BTW, it's a sport, ML/NAV, and I've got the option sheet, which indicates that illuminated scuff plates AREN'T on the 07 sport version.

on that leaked spec sheet they showed the X package to have illuminated sills, but you got the full blown sport?

I ordered it in may and they told me it would be an 06. When the car hit their allocation it was designated an 07. dealer said the factory didn't inform them of the change, it was a surprise. dealer still doesn't know the price or any specs of the car. It is supposed to hit the port in LA tomorrow. maybe they will know more then?
