Those saying no changes for 2007 obviously have not looked at the history of the IS300.

I got one of the first IS300s on sale in July 2000 and in the 2nd year (around Sep 2001) the car came with much better plastics, full leather interior option, 6MT gearbox option, NAV option, side airbags, new colors etc.

Of course the new IS has most of these already, so I would expect new colors and maybe (wishful thinking) a 6MT and very probably an IS350 AWD version (same as GS350 AWD out in Fall too).

Wouldnt an IS350 AWD seriously encroach on the territory of the GS350AWD? A GS300AWD costs somewhere around $46-48k. An loaded IS350AWD would be close to $45k, already some IS350s are over 45k.

It's always a good idea to wait for the second MY of a new car generation. All the minor problems will be worked out by then.
