Pretty good price. A lot better than the $65,000 base price I was expecting.

So the Neiman Marcus special edition IS-F priced at $68,000 will have about a $4,500 premium over loaded regular IS-F ...

With the Euro as high as it is against the USD, it's tough enough for them not to raise price ...

Mid 50s is what i've heard from this time last year in Detroit. They stayed with their promise. Well done.

Wow I was expecting a bit higher. This is a very competitive price! Considering their monthly sales target, this looks in line...

Is 'Intuitive Park Assist' the hands off parking feature?!

Release says:
Base $56,000.
With nav $59,315 including DPH fee.
Since the release says nav is 2550 that means this DPH fee is $765 (ouch).

The ML adds $1440 (!) for a total of $60755.

I expect most to come with nav or nav and ML so an average MSRP will be about $60K. I expect few discounts!

Anyone out there have a thought on who they think the likely buyer demographic is for this car (new car buyers, not used)?

& I believe a "loaded" IS350 here doesn not even include the PCS . . .
