Default 2021 IS 350 Ordered

Dealer just ordered my 2021 IS 350. Currently own 2015 RC 350 FSport and 2019 ES 350 FSport.

2021 build
- Infrared over black
- DHP
- Triple beam
- ML surround

opted for no moon roof, nav or nannies. We will see how long this takes. Very few DHPs out there and even fewer Infrared.

This will be my first lease so buy rate MF is key and hoping for Lease & Loyalty discounts when it arrives.

Cross shopped BMW/Merc but budget not quite there for the M5 or E63S. At the end of this lease the purchase/lease ceiling will be in P-car range. Opens up all options at that time.

The DHP specific options should look nice on the infrared. My RC was USB v2 and it is still a head turner.

Nice, congrats man. I would have gone with the DHP but when I saw the UW F Sport, I loved the look. It's crazy how I haven't seen another 350 around where I live. I did see a 2021 IS 300 the other day.

Congrats!! Great options. Its awesome Lexus now have the moon roof optional. I never used mine in the IS and special ordered my BMW Without it. Let us know your thoughts when you have some seat time. All the reviews I have read have been positive both on looks and driving experience compared to 2020 and prior years. It would also be great to hear how it compares to the RC and ES.

Beautiful car! This is the exact color exterior and interior I’m looking at! How is that bad boy? I’m thinking about moving from the mustang.
