So when is Lexus gonna come out with a Remote Start for the 2IS? I know my salesman was going to include it, until he found out that all the remote starts put in to the 2IS before was a failure, he said it was due to the push button start or something like that. So basically, does anyone know when it would actually be offered again?

The lack of a standard remote start and factory satellite radio or two of my biggest disappointments with the IS. How can a car made in 2006 for $45k not have these items standard, or at the very least a factory option?
$20k Pontiacs have these options but our cars don't?

yes, not very hard to install.
I think the main reason why there is no remote start in US yeah, is because people in US like to bring their lawyer to the court for any mistake a car maker makes.
It is just more reliability for a car maker with remote start, unless they can make sure it is full prove, they will not have it.

the biggest benefit i think is that if you live in a cold area during the winter, like i do, it heats the interior of ur car, so you do not freeze when u sit down
and i can not really think of any disadvantages, nothing at all
