JDM 3IS pricing announced, pre-orders being taken
Not sure if this information can be found on any of the Lexus/Toyota Japan's official sites yet, but the pricing of the 3IS is already released in Japan and pre-orders are being accepted right now, according to this Japanese blog.
Here are my takeaways:
1. The base IS250 gets a 5.2% price increase.
2. The base IS350 gets a 4.6% price increase.
3. The base IS300h is priced 6-to-4 closer to the base IS350 than to the base IS250.
4. Basing on the above, the new US-bound IS250 should start from $36,888, the IS350 from $42,175, and the IS300h from $40,060, were it offered in the US.
5. The ES300h starts from $38,850, so the IS300h with its better powertrain and standard LED headlights would've been considered reasonably priced (at just $1,210 more than the ES300h) and would've sold reasonably well in the US IMHO.
6. Sell the IS300h in the US, Lexus!

I'd be surprised if it increased that much. Didn't they say they would be holding prices? Or at least that's been the current trend. The base 3-series starts at $32,550 for reference...

I use to like BMW's, but they are getting way overpriced.

So what's going on with those numbers they show there? If that's japanese yen then the price would convert to 63k for an is350 f-sport in US dollar.... which is nowhere near the actual price, that's IS-F neighborhood. I know that 63k is no way going to be the price but why such a difference on the price there and the price here? Am I missing something?
