feel the heat?

just bought a brand new IS. i feel heat coming from the vents although everything is off and the switch is on "reciruclate air". the temp is also on 65 if that matters, but the air is not on..it off.

is this standard? i notice it more when the windows are all closed.

also..what do you guys think of the new sport design? its a ***** to get the color you want in cali (not the ubiquitous dark gray). anyone else having trouble?

sport design

was gonna get the 2003 thundercloud sport design...but no dealer had it in stock and i wasnt willing to wait months for a color i havent seen in person. plus i didnt know what the "ash" interior looked like. we all know print and web colors arent accurate.

all i have seen in the sport design is the gray with black interior...nice....but just wondered if the other colors were out.

I just came from Longo Lexus yesterday and I saw a black sport design w/ grey interior. I guess its available in the west coast now.
