Thumbs up So I'm in Japan to pick up another car...

As you know from my last thread, I picked up a GT3 since the ISF is now my wife's. The GT3 is the fun car, so I had to pick up a new DD for myself..

Here it is sitting waiting for me


New headlights


Interior (forgot to bring my polarizer today)


but then...saw this..in my FAVORITE color so I picked this up instead..







mmm F badge


again...no polarizer!


look at that ***!



Oh and picked up the JDM ISF zippered key pouch. Delivered on a tray, with the box, a pouch FOR the pouch, and a gift package along with it.



Ah..the Lexus experience.




oh...and I'm only kidding about the cars.

The look of the new IS350 is growing on me. I hated it at first, but now I'm finding myself liking it a little tiny bit.

The LFA is ridiculously hot.

No just kidding about the cars. Was there to pick up the pouch. I see mods moved the thread to IS forums and didn't see the isf content.

Wow, I just got really excited. A new IS and then an LFA, and then disappointment

Such a pleasant experience at a Lexus Japan dealership. Their perspective on customer relations is much more personal than here in the states. Hopefully the bill wasn't too high

Great shots of the 3IS and LFA, too!

Agreed.

That smart key case w/ pouch is my favourite item from Lexus Japan Collection. I have case for every Lexus keys that I have. Price is not too unreasonable, compared to the Smart Card key holder that they offer.

Just wonder.. Did you have to order it and wait for a few days for pickup? This was my experience last time in Tokyo area.

Haha you should be the one writing all the fine prints in car ads.... well done on fooling most people
For a second I thought about asking : what do you do for a living?!

Edit : is the IS already selling in Japan?

I didn't have to wait. The 2nd dealer I went to had it in stock.
