Nice. Too bad we know everything about the car already...

This is great for people who don't have the knowledge that we've all acquired in the past few months. The brochure will definately get everyone interested in the IS. This should also prove the car to be a worthy opponent to all the other automakers listed.

Good stuff thanks. Now all that's left to know is the pricing info. I'm still hearing vastly different versions everyday. Just yesterday my sales rep told me the IS350 is gonna be "low to high 40's" and only comes fully loaded.

Default Why can't I seem to save this document?

Adobe won't let me save this to my PC. Any suggestions?

I'm a tart, never mind.

Info I received today put the price for a loaded 250 in the $36-$40k range. Initial 250/350 allocation for the Pacific Northwest region will be around 115 units with more to follow every two weeks. About 25% of them will be "fully loaded" models. 80% of the 250's will be AWD.

Thanks for the info. Fully loaded, $36k sounds reasonable for a 250 but $40k is just too much unless you're talking about the 250 AWD... but 80% of them will be AWD??? I thought it's more of a northeast thing...

Well not quite everything, the dealer brochure reveals a lot of new information, specifically on the different option packages.

And one thing about the packages: it's confirmed that the moonroof is NOT standard on the IS350. YEAH!!! Now I get a half inch more headroom...

Actually it is standard in US/Canada I believe, accordng to what Bob Carter said in the chat this evening (I'm 99% sure). I wanted to copy the transcript, but the chat app didn't allow copy/paste. The transcript is suppose to be posted soon.

I received the file from a friend in the auto biz who has some ties with lexus. I then had another friend upload it to his server for me so I could share it with fellow enthusiasts...
