2024 is 500
So I am pleased to let all you enthusiasts know that the IS500 will be produced for at least one more year. I did my weekly search on TIS for 2024 models by tricking the website to let me search for 2024MYs and this week I actually got a hit for the 2024 IS500. Last week it told me that nothing was found for all 2024 IS', but this week it shows a Emergency Response Guide assigned to the 2024 IS300, IS350, and IS500. I suspect we are a couple of weeks away before I'll be able to grab the owner's manuals for the car, but this is a sign that the good old 2UR lives on for at least one more year. I'll update this thread once I eventually get the owner's manuals or any additional info.

And you make a good point … it’ll be a quirky color before it’ll be a color most of us could actually live with long term.

So TT, is it safe to assume we will know if the IS 500 got the tech upgrades for 2024 when you are able to access the owner's manual? Thanks!
Also, why do y'all think 2024 is/might be the last year of production? Since they just introduced the IS500 to Japan maybe it makes sense to have it run until 2026.

The IS series is due to be replaced with a new generation in 2025 if what they say is true. Frankly I don't care anymore. I got mine and I'm happy. Let them do Barney purple or their new obnoxious touchscreen tech on the NX, etc. and ruin the interior, I don't care.
