Default pricing of '15 IS350 with the official annoucement of '16 model line

i'm in the market for a '16 IS200T F Sport a year from now, but now is considering a '15 IS350 F Sport if deal is too good to pass up. i know in socal new IS350 F Sport are going for around $42k before tax and fees. what kind of deals were offered for the '14 IS250 F Sport when it fist came out 2 years ago? i kind of want to compare the prices between a brand new lesser model (IS200T) VS the carryover IS350.

If you can get a good deal on a 2015 350 F-Sport, then I wouldn't even bother with a 200t.

Completely agree. Just drove my 350 during lunch today and loved every second!

I'm feeling the same as the OP. I care more about the better gas mileage and possibly longer tire wear. Does anyone know if the 2016 is200t have matching tires that can be rotated?

Then again, if the 2015 is350 f sport is too good of a deal to pass up, I might just get that.

I agree, you can't go wrong with the IS 350, I got one and I've been enjoying every bit of it.

I just feel like there are certain premium costs that come with owning a premium car. I'm not sure anyone has ever been swayed from a 350 because of the offset tires.

I did.

I drive 30k miles per year.

My 2010 IS 250 AWD now has 135k miles on it and I got it because I didn't feel like replacing $1k tires every 6-9 months. And I wanted better gas mileage.

Granted, I also had a Ferrari F355 F1 when I bought my IS 250....so I guess I didn't need another sports car.

Ferrari

There is certainly nothing wrong with worrying about tire wear with that much driving. I drove the same amount on previous cars and hated having to buy yearly for performance tires
