I bought one and have been told they sold out in a week and there are people on the waiting list hoping for someone to drop out. Actually, I'm privledged to have been invited to the grand showing of the IS-F which is going to be held here in Las Vegas for 233 dealers and international press sometime this Feb. It's black tie and "only" by invite. I tried to get a few other tickets and was told "sorry". Maybe they thought I would eat too much shrimp. I put my 5 grand down and other than getting this invite, haven't heard a word from anyone regarding the car.

I'm very curious about these cars.

What's the difference? Is it like all the other NM cars, cosmetic only?
I did an interent search and other than a tiny thumbnail picture I couldn't find any real info or better pics.

It has the world's first eight-speed Sport Direct Shift gearbox and a specially engineered Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) system featuring a high-performance sport mode. If the heart-pounding power and speed aren't enough, the Mark Levinson® state-of-the-art CD/DVD Premium Surround Sound Audio System with navigation and Bluetooth® technology will surely get the blood pumping.
Only 50 Neiman Marcus IS F special build sedans will be made. These limited edition vehicles will be among the very first IS Fs off the line and have an exclusive interior design of high-style black with white accent stitching. Each will feature a unique steering wheel with white leather accents, front headrests embossed with an F logo, hand-polished finish on the wheels and a sequentially numbered Special Build badge.

I really like those wheels much more than the all graphite ones that come standard. To bad I was in the minority for those who preferred that option in that Lexus poll last year.
