2007 Lexus IS 250/350??
in the new edition of MT, it has all the new cars...and there is a pic of the IS, but it says at the time they went into publication, the pictures of the 2007 version were still embargoed...they mentioned some front fascia and detail changes i believe
is this true?...can anyone confirm?

here is what it says exactly
WHAT'S NEW: Formal changes due the IS250 and IS350 were still embargoed as we went to press, but the sportiest members of hte Lexus set will get minor cosmetic and performance enhancements as the Gen-II iteration enters its the sophomore season. Strongest enthusiast buzz continues to focus on an upgraded suspension package.
DRIVER'S CHOICE: There's just something fundamentally right about matching up 300-plus horses and sport sedan. Step up to the IS350
SUM UP: MOVING EVER CLOSER TO A 3 SERIES 4 stars
i'm guessing the performance enhancement will be to the IS250

Man, this is good stuff...Would LOVE if Lexus would step up the power on the 250 to maybe 230-240 horses...Get the 60 time to about 6.5-6.8. Enough power for any average person. Make XM/Sirius standard. Would make my day!
