If you look at the attachment you will see that the MY 2006 is the 2005 for us, but Lexus used the 2006 model year.

For example, Lexus launch the 3GS in Feb/2005, RX400h in May/05 and IS250/350 in Oct/05, but those are the 2006 MY. If you want see what coming out in 2006 you will have to look for the 2007 MY from the attachment.

badxIS300, I don't know about you, but if this is me I would not post this on internet forum and said that your paystub from Lexus has this infomation attached to it.

I don't think that was a viable idea. Why have 250, 300, and 350?

It would be more appropriate to have 250, 350, and 460...

The case for an IS300 soon, especially for the AWD (& the future hardtop convertible) :

i think it was just mentioned to change the 250 to 300 not to add a new model

wow nice info, though seriously i am not sure if it's a good idea to post these. doesn't seem like something lexus would want people outside to just "know"

2007 could be an awesome time for $40,000 convertibles.

It looks like the 3 series convertible, IS convertible, and new G convertible are all going to launch around the same time.

It is still a rumor. But an Infiniti dealer general manager (who's been very reliable in the past) says that a G convertible is planned for 2007 launch as a 2008 model.
