^^ These interior pics look so much better. The exterior color is harder to read and I see they have no sunroof in Japan. I like that mine doesn't have one....

^^ Nothing has been revealed so any price discussion here is pure speculation - The only price announced was in Japan where thy sated it would be 1 million yen above the Performance edition....so that would be approx 6700$ US dollars and 9200$ Cdn if Lexus US and Lexus Canada apply the same price scheme as Japan did.

In Canada, the IS 500 is about ~82 000$ before taxes so that would push the Ultimate Edition to ~91 000$ (before taxes). Will they try and price it a bit more aggressive to just under 90K or given that it's the end of the line, they'll try and play the hype and push it to the 91+ price - Only time will tell.

I think the problem with your estimation is that the IS500 in Japan is a couple thousand dollars cheaper than North America, all else being equal. $91k CAD = $66k US. And there's no way the Ultimate Edition is less than a Special Appearance Package, which is 68k. Therefore I'm guessing 70k because of the brakes.

^^ I hear ya and that is why I was saying that until official pricing is announced, it's all speculation. All i posted was the price between their performance and climax edition, and doing a straight projection that if the difference between the 2 trims was 1 million yen, it could be a same gap here, could being the key word....not even gonna speculate on the gouging by some dealers too. Luckily, i dont need one...if the price is right and looks good in person, i am open to.the idea

We should find out soon as September is rapidly approaching

Is Wind a metalic/pearl or regular color? Any overtones of other colors mixed in it? Also, I presume a shade lighter than Incognito?
