JIM BLUE IS300,

Lexus has reported they will be making the IS300 in AWD, coupe, convertible and maybe with a bigger engine option in 2005.

Enjoy your IS.

The summer tires are sweet, might wear kinda fast, but they are awesome for stock tires, and I believe a big part in how the car handles. It's kinda like my prelude, the stock re92 tires are crap, throw on some s-04 or something, and it'll be right there is a type-r on a road course, the R has better tires stock, prelude has crappy ones

I spoke with my dealer today to inquire & she told me right now they are only producing ones with the All Season Tires....So rather then delay it anymore than it already is....I will just stick with what I originally ordered...Maybe after the winter, I will put on After Market Tires......I cannot stand the waiting anymore!!!
