When does the new IS hit showrooms where *you* are?
The new IS arrives in Northern Ireland this Thursday, 20th, for viewing in showrooms. Presumably it arrives in showrooms across the UK this week. Deliveries are from 12 July.
When does it arrive in your region/country?
It's a bit cheeky, but if members could get to their showrooms a.s.a.p. after the car comes in and take pictures, we could compare specs and so on on a global basis!
For reference, I already have an order down for a black/black IS300h Lux [leather/nav], and expect delivery towards the end of July (black interiors are in a later batch).

Self healing paint? Isnt that only the silver? Besides, a word of caution. Self healing paint doesnt work apart from the S Class paint and even then, that was before MB quality went downhill so about 2003ish

Clear Coat
美しさを保つセルフリストアリングコート
洗車などによる小さなすり傷を自己修復するセルフリストアリングコートを全カラーに採用。分子レベルで結合しやすい特性を備え、新車時の光沢とカラーを長期にわたり保持することに貢献します。
※
鍵や硬貨などで引っかいた傷のように、セルフリストアリングコートが破壊された場合には、傷は復元しません。傷の復元する時間は、傷の深さや周囲の温度により変化します。なお、お湯をかけるなど、セルフリストアリングコートを暖めることで復元する時間を短くすることができます。耐用年数は5~8年ですが、その後も一般塗装よりも傷がつきにくい状態を保ちます。ワックスをかける場合はコンパウンド (研磨剤) の入っていないものをご使用ください。ディーラーオプションのレクサスボディーコートを施工しても耐すり傷性の低下はなく、高い性能を有します。
In Japan, they call it Self-Restoring paint and the durability lasts for 5-8 years. After that period, the clear coat will behave the same as regular paint. Extra care must be taken when performing the detailing. Compounding should be avoided. The self-restoring properties only work for minor scratches/swirls such as the ones caused during a car wash. Any hard objects such as key would still damage the clear coat.
Also in cold weather, it takes more time to see the clear coat gets restored.
And it is not restricted to silver because it is the clear coat that gets the self-restoring property.

Nope that wasnt me but wth? How can paint heal itself? thats absurd. Fair enough if you had to use something on it but by itself? No chance
