Default Is 250 2012

Does anyone know if the 2012 IS is going to be the same or is it gonna be the redesign. My IS goes back in march 2012.

2012 is a carry-over of 2011 with a few minor changes, including 2 colour changes and a couple small interior changes. Not much worth noting.

The 2IS already got the same USB as the IS-F on the 2011 models already.

damn, I was hoping they were going to give the IS 250 ultrasonic blue mica instead of the deep sea mica(blue always but darker then ultrasonic). At least on the lexus website for 2011 models it does not show ultrasonic blue mica as a color option. I hope the lexus website is just an error! lol

you can get an IS250 in USB.
You just have to get the F sport package instead of luxury package

F-Sport package isn't listed on their website for some reason. No ability to select it in the configuration.

^^^^ yup.
Fsport package is basically, slightly stiffer suspension, and the rest is all appearances. Go to the dealership once and you will know exactly what I'm talking about haha

Don't ever use that "build your own" crap on Lexus.com... all it will ever show is what your local dealer usually gets (hence why it asks for zip code)

To see what is actually possible from the factory you should be looking at:
