My fault, the Card key was actually $212 + the $55 activation fee from the dealership. I would say it might be very so slightly slimmer than 3 credit cards.

But here is a pic, not mine but the person said it's about 3 credit cards think.

I have to agree. Until we have confirmed evidence, this is all pure speculation.

If they get dark bird's eye maple as an option, I'm ordering all trims for my sterling interior.

Same here - waiting on the pictures. Don't 09's arrive next month? Seems like we would have seen some pictures by now for those thinking of ordering.

Phillip,

I thought you were doing a blue accent to your interior?

That would be a very impressive list of changes if true... Hope we get some more official info ASAP.

To my current one? I was thinking of doing a red interior to match the wood, but all mods are in hiatus.

I'm waiting for what pops up in the next couple of months...

Question

Hi all,

I am new to this forum, and to the Lexus family. I am looking at getting my first, an IS 250 RWD. My main question is, I am about ready to buy the car, but it is Aug 12th 2008, and through this thread it sounds like the 2009 IS model is about to debut. My question is, does anyone know when the 2009 would actually be available to purchase from a dealer here in TX, USA? Would it be like Sept 1? Would it be end of Sept, or later, etc? Thank you in advance for helping me with my first Lexus purchase.

SuperG

Hi im also a new member here trying to get as much info, been lurking for sometime now and decided to register as a member.. Im also planning on getting the 09 IS once it comes out.. Although most info about the 09 changes are based on readings (Lexus magazine and internet) and speculations. I have a feeling that info might come out officially from Lexus once the Summer Sales Event ends by Sept 2?
