Thanks Wednesday. With the US dollar 4-5% stronger than the Canadian dollar ($2K+), that will mostly pay off the freight and taxes you'd pay. A bit of paperwork and you'd be in one yourself!

I typically lease and will have to look into the option of leasing a Canadian model. Post up some pics when you get it

corradoMR2,

Did you order a RWD model or it's an AWD?

I ordered an AWD F-Sport package. The one at your Vancouver dealer in the pics - is it AWD with F-Sport Premium package ( sunroof, NAV, etc) ? I can't tell if the reflections on the roof in one of the shots shows a sunroof or reflections from nearby buildings... Maybe you recall?

I owned a prior 250 AWD and I was content with the power and traction with the all-seasons in our winter climate. Also, it will be a rocket compared to my CT (and I'm happy with the CT's performance) so it's all relative!

The one you took pic of it the executive f sport AWD IS250. (the sales man John told me )

The LED projectors are not available on F sport executive IS350 but a luxury package called "Executive package" on IS350 only.

it really sucks >.< Lexus has limited so many combinations for packaging.

Thanks Debbie. Gotta still wait a few more weeks (late August) unless a miracle happens. For now it's photoshopping an imaginary blue IS to keep me busy
