Oooh okay they do list 18" available on Lexus.com (but only for the sport and luxury packages). Wow there are a lot less packages available for 09 compared to 08. Most of the things I got in my 08 package are now À la carte items. I wonder why the Luxury package is not available for SoCal residents (via the website)??

Another wheel design flaw that I dis-like is that if your going to make a wheel like this,
it will need a left and right design.... in my honest opinion..

These are not...

Drivers side (thank you Javy)



Rear Passenger side (thank you my.IS member)

God. Those wheels look more and more hideous the more we get better looks at them.


Ugh.

What in the world would make you think it is lighter? It is the same damn wheel mass wise, just a whole lot uglier than the older ones, which weren't that cool either, but better. Why can't anybody just pay attention to what BMW and Audi do for wheels, but even they have gotten kinda ugly as of recent.

I'm glad I didn't wait and got the 08' I kinda like the LED tail lights and gray wood.. looks classy! Anyone know when they'll stop tuning and come out with a whole new body style ? Any word on the 2dr or convert or were they just rumors ?

Is it me or for some reason the 09 doesn't looks as aggressive as the 06-08. I am also glad I didn't wait for the 09.

I am glad I went out and bought an 08 but I did wait for this 09 to come out and I am very sad when it comes to the changes made. Right now the IS350 is perfect for me both inside and out!

I think the same thing (and posted it a page or two back). It just doesn't seem as sleek to me.

Will the 09 Navigation disk get rid of the restrictions on the GPS and bluetooth? Can someone please test this out...
