Talking 2017 Lexus IS Build and Configure active on Lexus.com

FYI, As of today, you can now explore, build and configure the 2017 Lexus IS on Lexus.com.

Now if only my dealer could tell me when they expect to get them on the lot.

I'm not sure I like the fact that they took away the dual projectors in the 2017s....it actually looked nice on the previous year model but overall the car looks much refined as for the interior. The exterior is ok besides the rear diffuser and squared exhaust.

Hmmmm.. link?

edit: nevermind.. here: http://www.lexus.com/build-your-lexu...year/2017/trim

interesting how they call it the "IS Turbo" now. I wonder if it says "Turbo" on the back lol

For the IS200t, it's showing a "performance air intake" as available.. hmm?

Not sure if I'm liking the new available F Sport 5 spoke... Why does Lexus show the standard brakes with a clearly F-Sport model... I thought F Sport brakes were IS350 brakes? Maybe they pulled this photo from a canadian model catalog... makes you wonder what else is not accurate



And Lexus.. your website is weird clunky awkward and old... you show an old key for your F Sport key gloves... why... the key does not look like this... and you also show the lexus RX for the IS floormats... why... you also show IS350 for IS Turbo specs (The badge says 250) you may make some doubt the accuracy of the available options (I have a feeling this is what's going on with the F Sport intake)

Looks like there's some real laziness with the Lexus website. They need to take a lesson from the BMW USA website. now that's a modern crisp updated to the nano second website. Brand new information, very detailed pics and info on every option available. VERY up to date. Geez, Lexus. Embarrassing

If the 2017 200t's don't get the 350 brakes that will be hilarious because even non-F 2016 200t's received the larger 350 brakes.

I don't know if it's just a lighting angle, but I like the black face clock

Exactly that. I know the other clocks off of Nigel-JDM are around there as well. I don't know how to feel about the F-Sport wheels though; I like it, but am also not a big fan.

They are, but at least they look good. With the new wheels, the longer I look at them, the less I like it.

Those wheels are the optional 5 spoke alloy wheels. The stock wheels for the F-Sport are 18" dual spokes similar to the current wheels.

If I could have my exterior with the new interior, I'd be pretty pleased.

It says "New LED headlamps feature intelligent high beams, maximizing illumination of the road ahead." It looks like the one bulb handles low and high beam.

I also noticed the F-Sport accessory exhaust is not shown on the Accessories page either. Maybe they're not making the exhaust anymore or the website is inaccurate. Some of the other F-Sport accessories are still there.

It's probably because the new model's dual exhaust tips are now a rectangular shape. Who knows if there will be an F Sport performance exhaust that will be made to fit the new shape.
