finally, pics of my IS 350 including leg room and nav screen
I finally got around to posting some pictures I took of my car when I was at my parents' place for Thanksgiving. Note that while there is snow on the ground, it was plowed away before I ever drove on it, so I can't comment on the stock 18's in the snow (which from what I have read is just as well...). I'll put a few pics here, for the rest go to my gallery: https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/sh...0/ppuser/40972
I picked up the car in early November. When these pics were taken it had about 900 miles on it. It is tungsten pearl with black leather, and has the sport package (hence the metallic trim and stock 18's), navigation, park assist, headlamp washers (haven't used them yet), and preferred accessory package.
This is how much room I have in the front seat. I am 5'11" and 160 lbs, and find the driving position and room very comfortable. You can see the metal pedals. You can also see that I haven't gotten rid of the paper floormats yet.
This is me in the backseat on the driver's side, without adjusting the driver's seat position. There is plenty of room for my legs, but it's not exactly Buckingham Palace. You can see that my shoes somewhat fit under the fron seat. I find it pretty comfortable back there. The headroom is good too, I'm just ducking down to look at the camera. But I can sit straight up back there and not have my head hit the ceiling. In the new GS I found that I could not sit up straight because there was not sufficient rear head room.
Some exterior shots. You can see more in my gallery.
Close-up of the navigation screen. I meant to take one in day and night modes, but I couldn't get it to go into night mode. So, just imagine this, except with the background in black instead of white. The screen is great, controls easy, calculation time very fast. This picture is in full-screen map mode.
That's it for now, enjoy!

Too bad we don't have that 365 California weather so you can enjoy even more. I see more and more of the IS250/350 popping out in my city and they all look sweet. Looking fwd to picking one up, one day...

Nice car, im envious because i have the same exact car and color except
mine has the light gray interior! I wanted the black interior so bad but they

I know I know... it's just that the garage where I keep it is really dusty, and I hate to see the interior get dirty! But I'll do it soon.
I have it on my ES. It looks very nice and fit perfectly. I got mine from the Lexus dealer for $80. This website also has it for the same price.
