U.S. will probably have a couple more color choices.
What exactly is Tungsten Pearl ?
2 Black's & no plain silver color ? That's very unusual

Tungsten Pearl is the silver that is featured in the press photos. Black Pearl looks very similar to Flint Mica.

I suppose Black Pearl is an even darker grey than Flint Mica , that's my favourite color for the new GS.

IT's too bad they do not offer the IS 350 in AWD however.

Guys, BMW sells 184hp 325s like its no ones business. Most people ARE NOT HP hungry. The IS 250 will appeal to those that want a wonderful entry level Lexus. They can even get a manual, which will help any performance aspects.
I don't know why some of you have this infactuation with HP. If that is really true, for this price range, get yourself a nice 400hp Pontiac GTO.
These are still luxury sport sedans, the vast majority won't mod or even speed.
I am just happy so far the IS seems to be the total package.

310hp... Hmm... so the reports from the Japanese tabloid magazines saying it'll have 320ps =~ 315hp is wrong after all eh. Still very good though.
So the yucky green color isn't coming to the North America after all? (Not that I will miss it.)

Anything is still possible for US Lexus on the IS350 numbers. We will have to wait and see what Torrance has to say.
