I think I am the first owner of a new IS250C to post here. Mine was the first one on at my local dealer. Fortunately, it had everything I was looking for and I had alerted my salesperson to give me a call when a 250 arrived in red or blue. Typically, Lexus ships fully loaded new models meeting the predicted sales profile...namely the 250 versus the 350. My car sat on the showroom floor and was used for demo drives for about 10 days. I think the color was a deal killer for many since the Blue is aimed at a younger audience than me (I'm 49).

A black IS350C came in last week and was spoken for immediately. I think the red and silver ones will go fast too.

Nice ride but the IS-C looks awkward to me. The rear of the car just does not flow right.

I think this is what happens when car manufacturers take a car like the IS when it is suppose to be just a sedan and try to make a vert out of it.

Congrads on the new ISC, but I can not believe Lexus put in the next gen Navi and the IPOD interface stinks, what's wrong with them, maybe someone should show them a G37 or BMW. They are so far behind the other brands.

If you are that unhappy with the antenna, you could replace it with a Perrin shorty antenna. I would call first to make sure it fits.

Congrats on the new ride! It looks great!

I work for TMS in Jacksonville, we get the ships in from Japan....and by far my two favorite colors are the Obsidian black, and this color you got! I think its a win/win either way you go!
I have an RXh now (had an 08 IS 250 prior), but will be ordering my IS-C in Sept for arrival in Dec, really looking fwd to it!

Congrats again!
