The "Version F" Will have a Mesh Grill, and IS-F Trunk, Sport seats, and the color Ultra Sonic Blue. You can't have that color on the normal IS.



and the other new color (not the version F) is kinda a Violet-grey color, brand new color.

EDIT:

I read in some article, that the new Violet-grey color is available on the ISC too, but not available in the US.

I hate to break it to you, but my 350 does not "scream" coupe. It "screams" sports sedan. 4 doors is not a coupe. Apples are not oranges.

If we only had the true definitions of coupe and sedan to distinguish the 335i coupe, the IS 350 "sedan", the mercedes S550, and the lexus LS 460...

would you really group the IS with the S and the LS, or would you group the S and the LS together and the 3 "true coupe" and IS together?

They are just words, to me having a word that only distinguishes number of doors is useless.

Plus I'm not the only one who thinks like this, there are people who will classify certain cars as "2 door sedans" and "4 door coupes", they are going by size.
Dude, are you serious?? We do have true definitions to distinguish between the two. When simply only referring to doors, a COUPE has 2 and a SEDAN has 4. Just like there is a 335i SEDAN and a 335i COUPE. No smart person will classify a 4 door car as a coupe cause THAT ISN'T WHAT A COUPE IS. You have a very distorted idea of types of vehicles apparently. I don't think I even want to ask what you call other vehicles haha.

maybe there are ppl classifying certain cars as "2 door sedans" and "4 door coupes but there's also people that think jews should be eliminated

something i found for bluetooth in the UK for cars with no bluetooth ... i dun really know how it works if its a standalone .. or integrated in the car since there isn't much info on it

i dunno about getting a 2010 headunit would be the best option ... since that would end up costing as much as a aftermarket integrated navi ... i would rather go for that instead

The dealer did not say anything about a mouse or anything, as far i know a harddrive based navigation reduses the lagging when ur trying to do many things at ones, and i really hope they give some harddrive memory to save music on the the infinti G37 !!!

Or a USB stick. Besides, I hope it's not a conventional hard drive. If it isn't an SSD, it's a huge step toward unreliability and ensures you'll not be able to maintain the unit if it fails unless you want to pay dealer prices for what is now a commodity in the IT world.

Well the difference between that joke and me bringing up this sedan vs coupe issue is that the definition of coupe has actually evolved to, in some cases, encompass more than just "2 doors."

The meanings of some words change and/or expand over time.

there is no word change or expansion of words for sedan or coupe
the definition for Sedan and Coupe has been and is still 4 door and 2 door in that order.
the articles you referred to was the author merely describing the car having the sleekness of a Coupe but yet it has 4 doors.
At no point did the author used the word COUPE to define a 4 door Sedan
