Default Took Delivery - IS 250

Well, my A4 Cab is gone and I took delivery of a new Black/Cashmere IS 250 (Nav, premium, 18" wheels) today. I will post pics in a few days. I am a little surprised at the road feel that translates in - not expected from a Lexus, but it makes feel more sporty. Still getting used to having a B pillar (feels more confining). The car is great. Dealership will be tinting the windows next Friday for free.

I will also be buying at cost black fabric mats to replace the cashmere ones when they get disgusting (bound to happen since they are so light). I love the two-tone look of the inside. Cooling seats will come in handy in South FL.

Happy to be a new owner.

Congrats on the new car. I am not sure about how much you want to spend on mats, but maybe you should try to get some All-Weather Mats... you can get them from Lexus. Also, otherwise you could get ExactMats from ebay which are sized for a lexus... or you could get clear rubber mats from Walmart which fit pretty well. Just a suggestion.

Congrats again. Post pics.

Thanks. I am leaning towards the cloth mats (will check ebay). Living in South Florida, I don't feel the need for all weahter or rubber mats.
