And they could have done that with other models too but they didn’t. It’s a blanket zero interest deal on all 2020 and 2021 models, plain and simple. Has been offered in years past just like this. People are talking like it applies only to the refreshed IS and it’s a bad thing. It’s neither

Japanese auto companies need to stop worrying about the Germans. They can’t compete with their loyalty. Just make something that Lexus or JDM car people will buy. Sell a few high performance F models for a few thousand more. If they are going to discontinue their sporty sedans go out with a bang.
Lexus as always is very conservative especially when it comes to proper wheel/tire fitment. RCF and GSF did have proper setups.

New model gets a good incentive to purchase...failure.
X5Ms get 11% off the top...success.
I guess Lexus cant win any way.

IS is about $40-50k and im sure you can easily get 10% off also.
0% is all well and good but key to sales in the IS segment is strong lease programs.

I just looked up the lease offers/specials on my dealer's website.
2020 IS 300 AWD
$369/month
36 months
$3999 due at signing
$1500 lease cash
10k miles per year
2021 IS 350 F Sport
$359/month
36 months
$3999 due at signing
$1500 lease cash
10k miles per year
Given those leases, they're going to have a hard time clearing out the outgoing models.

Keep in mind that rates are so low right now it doesn't cost them much to offer 0%.

The really sad part is they developed a new V6TT and 10speed trans that would work great in a “truly” New IS instead of this refresh. Imagine IS500 with 450hp and 10speed with better performance than the M340i. That would get everybody’s attention. What is stopping them from doing this is really beyond comprehension......
