i would have liked to get the parking assist and the dynamic cruise control.

but i wouldn't have been able to get a discount, i'd have to special order it, wait 3 months, and pay more...

oh well, the next car i get it will probably all be standard

I would have liked to get the parking assist and the dynamic cruise control. Something about having RADAR and SONAR seems cool. All that would be left would be a weapons system.

My last car was a 1999 Corvette so I HAD to get the 350 and it ROCKS!! Even compared to the Vette. Don't miss the ML audio and I have the Sports package HID and Nav so I'm a happy camper.

on the '07's for $875 as a stand alone option. The fuel/trunk opener will be illuminated now too. The shark fin antenna for XM will be on all of the IS models which becomes a visual cue distinguishing an '07. The X-package that replaces the Sport package will include the illuminated interior scuff plates,alloy pedals and a front lip spoiler plus the sport tuned suspension and 18" 5-spoke wheels for a bargain price of only about $1500. HID's are extra. The X package will come in Smokey Granite, Tungsten Pearl, Obsidian Black and Matador Red.

The base price has a modest $265 bump for '07 on the RWD's and is unchanged on the AWD's.

My car is perfect. I have a IS250 Premium/RWD and that's all I'll need. I've had many fast cars along with many tickets. My driving style has changed through the years and I'm more mellow now. I like the exterior looks and interior feel of the 2IS. Since that was more important to me, and it's only for commute to work, I figure why not get the one that has better fuel efficiency. A lot of people ask me, why I didn't get the 350. Heck, I can afford two 350s. But practicality is more important for me these days. Investing for an early retirement is paramount to me. Of course you have to have some fun along the way.

LT,Navi/ML! I should have waited for a week or so. My car was probably one of the first ones hit the state.

Whatever package would have given me the seat/steering wheel/mirror memory tied to the key fobs. What a pain after my wife drives the car to have to reset everything...
