Finally, Lexus has put up the 2007 IS on it's website.

I was searching through it and I'm happy I bought the 2006, mainly because it was cheaper.


However, I did notice that there are some quirks in the website as I tried to "build" some IS and couldn't get everything to properly work together.


All in all, I saved a few hundered dollars buyin the 2006 model.

 

well its only $265 more expensive, the option packaging is a lot more flexible than before

my starfire looks a bit brighter than CW did on the 06 build part of the website:

 

Nice....! Just what I was waiting for.

 

for those IS250 owners like myself that have navigation, i'm much happier with the aftermarket HID conversion lights than having to pay for the bi-xenon lights, I know it doesn't have the auto level feature, but i personally like the brighter lights.


apparently, the website doesn't show you the wood trim in any option, everything has metallic finish...which we all know is not the case.


but the options are pretty interesting of how you have more flexibility.

 

Is the moonroof not a standard feature ANYMORE??? It seems like it might be only in the X-Package...??

 

all models are updated for 07 except the LS

http://www.lexus.com/models/

 

ONLY the X-package gets the option of not getting moonroof.

I saw Starfire Pearl last time. It just looks like Crystal White. Not really any different.

 

I really like the "X" packages and xenon being a seperate option. I did get aftermarket conversion kit and I don't miss the auto-leveling from previous cars too much but it is a nice and useful feature. The xenons are priced pretty well at 875 for leveling and AFS.

The other thing I love is moon-roof delete option...I realize that would probably have been a special order but still a great option.

And really interested in seeing what starfire looks like I love my CW but sad it got ditched after 1 year run lol...

other than that really happy with my 06 and glad I've been enjoying it for the last 8 months instead of waiting on the 07s. I was a bit scared getting a first year model run due to numerous bugs but the car has been pretty flawless!

 

Any idea how different the front bumper is on the "X" package is different than the standard one?

 

its the ground effects front spoiler....that's the best to my knowledge...so its nothing that isn't out there already

 

yea with the X package you get the front lip of the ground effects kit

 

I'm happiest about ML being a stand along option. I still think that Lexus should have made xenon's standard from the beginning, at least on the 350.

 

here is a pic

 

yup from all the pics it looks exactly like the current OEM ground effects front lip

 

Hmmm. . Maybe i should scoop up an 07 350 x package. . .
