Default Got my IS!

IS350 White,Black interior, luxury package, nav,lev parking assist. Only have put about 50 miles on it in the last 2 days. All that I can say is " THIS CAR IS BEYOND NICE" It is one way cool ride.

Car drives like it is on rails. It is as tight as a drum and very quiet. Power sems quite good for a six banger! Seats are great, controls are where they should be.

Everyone in my family wants the car for themselves. I think that the IS wil be a huge hit for Lexus.

Great car!

There should be a forum law that says if you just bought a new IS you can't discuss how great it is until you posted your pics. (just kidding) Congrats.

wow, you are one of the lucky few to get ML in CA. The power flow on this car is incredible (not just the abundance of it, but the smoothness of it--reminds me of a jet taking off, minus the noise). Enjoy it.

Can't you just set your speed and tach to change to red when you reach over the speed limit to help set yourself? I thought I read that you can do that.

you can set speed or tach to go orange at a certain speed. I think it goes red once you are over 100 or close to redlining it.

Incorrect. The lights do go orange where you set it on both tach and spedo. The Tach turns red once you reach redline and the spedo does turn red at 100 mph. Try it, I did!
