So far, I'm the only BWB I've seen around SoCal. I have seen quite a few Black (perhaps Blue Onyx or SGM) and Tungsten IS, two GFM and Matadors each, one white, and not one DSM or MGM.

On average, I see one or two other IS driving between Anaheim to LAX everyday.

I saw my first IS yesterday here in Colorado. I couldn't tell if it was Crystal White or Glacier Frost Mica like mine. I've been looking for them like a hawk since I got mine three weeks ago. I was driving back from the gym, looked in my rear-view, and there it was. I tried to make eye contact with the driver, but couldn't.

i live in columbia, sc.

and i've seen One IS. a white 250 across the st. from a bar i used to work at. aside from that, nothing. i even took a road trip from here to willmington NC to DC in december and back and didn't see one on the roads.

its a pretty rare car still int he south east from what i can tell. goto a place like arkansas and alabama and you might have the only one in the state!

from the IS map on the front page the 350 is definitely more popular. i'm sure lexus will see this and respond, americans typically for for most bang/buck and the 350 offers that like none other.

I've seen one IS350 at work. I mostly see the GS330's driving around town. The most IS's I've seen at one time are in the Lexus dealer lot......and I've only seen 2 there at one time and they were gone the next day.

I've consistently seen around four at UCLA here. Two Tungsten Pearl's (IS350), one Black Onyx (IS350), and one White Pearl (IS250). I'm sure there are more hidden somewhere here in the underground garages here...

I live and work around the West Side of Los Angeles and IS's are everywhere! I see from 2 to 5 of them everyday. Mostly Silver, followed by Black, Smokey Granite, and White.

Default I saw a Glacier Frost IS250 AWD....

this morning coming in on I270. We have loaner cars that are IS250's but I am down to only a couple in stock. One in the showroom and an unusual White/Black leather IS350 Sport Package that has wood inside and the metallic pedals. The IS can be observed late at night defying posted speed limits if you have a high speed shutter lens. They hide in the daytime.

There's too many IS's in SoCal. I've seen 5 different IS's at my college. Everyone and their momma has a black 06 3 series though.

I've been looking for 2IS's since they came out in Oct and have only seen one on the road here.

Just this past Sunday I saw a black 250AWD on my way home from work, looked good too
