they never made a turbocharged IS250 so there is no way to compare a IS200t to it.

My thoughts exactly lol.... I was disappointed that the USB wasn't available for 2015. Sucks big time...
But hey, we've got red seats, which you can't get with the USB exterior

I'm not a fan of red guts...so I probs would've went grey interior...classic look imo. blk wouldn't be a bad choice either.

I'm sure you all already know this but pictures of the 2016 IS F-Sport U.S. version have been posted here.

I just read the post on CL about the 2016 line. So, the IS200T will only be available in RWD?? And the IS300 will come back in AWD. As for the IS350, it will still be offer in RWD or AWD. Guess next one will be either an IS300 or an IS350

And forgot to add...

The IS300 will have a 3.5, but it will only produce 255 HP. Really? The IS350, with the same 3.5 engine, will produce the same 306 HP as before! Doesn't make any sense

Why would a lower model would have the same power as the higher model? I think it makes sense that they de-tuned it. Otherwise who would buy the 350 if you can get the same power for less money?

Not excited.

Have Lexus call me when they offer an Ultra Luxury Package that includes semi-aniline leather.

Not willing to part with my 2010 that does have it.

Lexus standard leather is crap. And I won't buy a car with fake leather.

Guess I'll have to wait and see if they will offer it in 2017....or just buy a new ES.

The optional leather in my 3IS is so much better than the standard leather in my 2IS
