Just wanted to say hello to all...new to the board.....Ordered my 2003 IS300 yesterday......Cant wait to get it!

 

Hello, congrats on the purchase of your new car and welcome to the club.

 

did you get the new AWD ?

 

Hey Guys....The car is loaded except for navigation......I got 17 in' all-season tires....I didnt think there is AWD for it yet.... Is there?

 

no awd. he was just being a wise ***.... making reference to some kid on a different message board that was saying AWD was going to be an option for '03. now thats good comedy

 

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.

Ethan

 

Welcome!!!

 

Congrats on the new car. Sucks having to wait on it to come in doesn't it??

 

Ahhh...I see.....I wouldnt want AWD anyway........Actually I really shouldnt complain about the wait because they hope to have it in a week or two...I just cannot wait to get it....I have been driving SUVs for 4 years & Im just ready for something that handles well FINALLY!!! And this car sure does handle!!!!

 

Shouldn't have got the all season tires then

 

You think it will make that much of a difference?

 

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!!!

 

dont belive the hype. theyre just trying to make a quick sale.

 

Your probably right.............
