he didnt actually mention the pcs option - but at 3k, im sure it doesnt include it! so with nav and pcs, i would add 5k to my 39,000. forgot about that pricey option...thanks for keeping me honest!

umpalumpa

i COMPLETELY agree. i dont want it fully loaded with the pcs or nav....my limit is 42k, then i'll have to really think about what i want to do with my life... the depression would be overwhelming. i'm gonna call the crisis hotline now...

There is no official pricing as of yet. I have more information than one of our sponsor Lexus dealerships do (the one that happens to be #1 in the USA).

STIG

for some reason, i was thinking that the prices are going to be announced on Aug 15th. i think i am wrong then.

If it's anything like the GS packages, you probably won't be able separate out the Navi from the Levinson.

STIG

hopefully you are wrong , but i think 47K is just too much for an IS. with that price range, i can either get a S4 or a M3.

STIG

i heard they came with bundle and will cost around 5K.

STIG

my limit is 38K OTD . i can live with cloth seat and no sunroof if i have to.

umpalumpa

i agree, i'll just have to deal with the crappy stock stereo....lol
nobody freak out, i know the stock stereo will be great...im being sarcastic

(did i mention that i love these icons?!?!?)

STIG

stock stereo came with 11 speakers, 180 watts or something and it's from pioneer. i heard it's really good!

If you think the ML system in the new GS is good, the new IS' ML system is even better.

Gojirra99

I think for many, a really fully loaded IS350 with PCS & Radar cruise control system won't be necessary . . . & you have to sacrifice a lot of ammenities to get a base S4 or M3 instead for more performance, they aren't directly comparable cars with the IS350.

Gojirra99

For the GS up here in Canada, the NAV/ML are bundled with the PSC & radar cruise control, either you get all of them together or none of them at all if you want to spend less.

flipside909

Here in SoCal ML/Nav is what we get. I have yet to see a GS430 sold with PCS & Radar Cruise. Although the Radar Cruise system works quite well. More details to come in my review.
