I sure hope the redesign is in 2013....Ill be pimpin a new car for another 3 years..lol

 

Agree, but Acura/Honda's look are going down south

 

Don't worry about it. The World ends in 2012.

 

I guess the new IS still doesn't come in IS-F blue.

 

Canadian prices are FUBAR

 

It's still cheaper than a fully loaded 250 (around 60k!!!) in europe. You guys are lucky!

 

US configurator is showing the 2010 IS250 Premium Package at only $240! What the! Wasn't it at least a grand+ for '09? Is this a typo? Bargain of the century!
Also, looks like they may have darkened the wood for '10 with the beige interior option. '09's got a golden shade of brown whereas it's now labeled medium brown (?).

 

I just priced out an AWD equipped the same as my '07--the 2010 MSRP is only $100 more than it was in '07.

 

HIDs have never been standard on the 2IS in the US for any year.

The premium package has never included HIDs either- they're a standalone option in general, and the only packages that include it are Luxury and Sport.

(again, in the US- Canada has some odd optioning in comparison)

For 06-09 the premium package was woodgrain and heated/vented seats...and that's it.

For '10 the heated seats are apparently standard, and the (now cheaper) premium package just adds the venting part and the woodgrain.


That, and discontinuation of the X package, and the updated Nav/audio/BT stuff appear to be the primary changes for '10.

 

If Lexus is setting the price to $51k maybe even more, they better be prepared to see low #s in sales with the IS350. According to Lexus SA they are having tough time selling the 09 IS350s already.

And for all the modders, after you replace the wheels, suspension, etc...you're looking at $60k+ easy!!! With that price, you might as well consider getting a new IS-F, M3 or C63 and call it a day!

 

^That's right, I almost forgot.

I was hoping to see more options for 2010 IS in the USA. The F-Sport trim would've been nice but I guess you can get a lot more other things with $6100.00 CAN. Another thing, I really liked the X-Package wheels and based on Lexus.com it looks like they got rid of X-Package.

 

Yep.

And it looks like now the only way to get factory 18" wheels on a 250 is to get an automatic with the F Sport Package (in Canada anyways).

 

The US Premium Package has included 18" wheel and xenons at various times. There's more than one Premium Package and for a few years, you could only get the "deluxe" PP package in certain regions (CA).

 

canadian prices suck. for the price i paid for my 250. i could've gotten a 350 in the US. ARGGGG

 

looks the same not diggin the amber pearl color...
