Default Spotted New IS

I spotted a new IS last night on the 91 Freeway in Anaheim. Is it on sale yet? I thought launch was not until later this year. It was a white one - I thought it was a new GS but it was too small to be a GS. The rear lights looked real aggressive. I think it might have been a distributor or dealer car. Is it normal for people to get these before launch?

Thanks. The one I saw was not camouflaged. I tried to follow it but there was too much traffic. The badge said IS 250. It exited the freeway before I caught up.
