But back to the original topic of this thread... Reading between the lines of what the marketing and sales folks at Lexus have been saying, I expect the IS 250 to start at just under $30k with a stick and at about $31K with an automatic (just under the price of a BMW 325). The packages that don't include ML stereo and Nav will cost around 3K so MSRP on a nicely equipped, RWD IS 250 should be around 34K. That's a good value because the equipment level on such a car would make it equivalent to about a $37K BMW 325. Add on another $3k if you want ML stereo and Nav.
I think they'll start the IS 350 at a price just under the BMW 330. So my precise prediction is $35,995 exactly . The packages will probably be priced the same as the IS 250. So you're looking at about $39,000 nicely-equipped, $42k with everything.

Welcome to the CL Price Is Right Showcase Showdown!!!
I think if the fully loaded is350 came in at about 42,000... it could potentially steal away a number of the non hardcore bmw 3-series buyers. For the power and options, 42,000 is a fair price for that car. I would like to see the IS250AWD clock in at 35,000 or under though.
Curious... what do you think the depreciation on this car will be like 2 years after introduction. Do you think a 350 will be under 30,000?

But seriously folks...MY dealer (who, fyi, knows more than your dealer ) said that he believed pricing on the 250 would be pretty much the same as the existing 300 - so 33k with the options package. i'm personally thinking that a loaded is 350 with nav would be @41,000 - 2k less without it (right?). so i'm hoping to eek out a pretty nice is350 for 39k...thats my story and im sticking to it... damn i love those icons!

I'm guessing the price your dealer gave you would not include the PCS.

My guess is still 45-47K IS350 fully loaded! If the price with tax goes over $50,000, then I'm out. It will be way to expensive for me!
