Finally got one!
IS350 in Breakwater Blue w/ Grey interior. 18" wheels, no nav no ML. No luxury package - got the 38k variety. Looooove it! Went to the dealer to talk about what i might want and they had the blue one in the showroom. I was pretty willing to accept a lot of color combinations but I told them that the one on the floor would work. Next think i knew, they were running numbers and I realized that i couldnt afford to lease this car! Then, the numbers got better...and i drove off in a shiny new is350! Gotta change my sig now! Thanks everyone for all the info on the car and helping me make an informed decision....

Manual transmission finally???

Most important options to me:
1. Manual
2. Nav
distant third... might get the sport package.
How does the manual compare to the automatic IS250? Did you have to order it or did they have it in stock? What dealer did you find it at?
