It's identified and correctly referenced in all the tech documentation. Sales brochures are often "optimistic." I work in sales. I very often find myself doing damage control for what the marketing material says compared to what the product really does.

 

any ideas if the new sports package could possibly come with the starfish wheels, if so I may consider just getting the full blown sport instead of X

 

Can you get the lux pkg with the X pkg? Does anyone know how much the X pkg is?

Koz

 

probably not, most of the packages are mutually exclusive you can have one or the other, usually not both (as they share common items, so they dont let you get both) Your best bet is to probably go with premium package and X package + HID to get close to lux

 

Is it a sure thing that we would be able to get the premium package with the x package? I am wondering, but, hope you are right. They do not share the same options, so maybe we can get it that way.

 

I hope so!!!

 

I was at the local Lexus dealer this afternoon discussing 07 IS350 pricing
and I saw an inventory detail printout for one of the incoming.
The price increase on the base price was $265 compared to the same car in 06.
Options for Lux and Nav/ML appeared to be the same $$.

 

Noticed the sport package doesn't specify that the interior trim is different anymore - only aluminum pedals and door sills. Maybe sport has the base metallic trim now?

 

i dont think sport has ever had a different trim come along with it

lexus site still has 06 info:
Sport Package (RWD only) - $3,695 (Automatic), $3,725 (Manual) [2]

- Perforated leather-trimmed interior
- Power tilt-and-telescopic steering column
- Lexus Memory System for power driver's seat (except lumbar), outside mirrors and steering wheel
- Heated and ventilated front seats
- Aluminum sport pedals
- Aluminum doorsill scuff plates
- Rain-sensing intermittent windshield wipers with mist cycle
- Electrochromic (auto-dimming) outside mirrors with auto tilt-down in reverse
- Bi-xenon High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps
- Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)
- Sport-tuned suspension
- 18 x 8.0-in alloy wheels with 225/40YR18 tires front [3], 18 x 8.5-in alloy wheels with 255/40YR18 tires rear [3]

 

I dont know if you guys have seen or noticed this, but I didn't see any HIDs/AFs on the standard features?? There was a rumor about this on bunch of CL threads and was wondering what the deal is with HIDs/AFs on 07???

 

its not standard its a stand alone option now, so you dont have to buy some 3500 dollar package just to get HID, right side of the big starfish wheel you can see options and accessories, you can see HID/AFS alone by itself which means its standalone

 

I receveied the email below from one of our local dealers. It can give you some kind of indication of what configrations Lexus is building/shipping for at least Arizona. It looks like HID's while not standard are required equipment.

We are about to get our first shipment of NEW 2007 IS 250s! Attached below are some details on the first 6 due to arrive to my dealership in the within the next week!!

Noticed there is now Ipod integration, no longer have to use a fix/hack

So to confuse us even further, the difference between the x-package and the sport package is a stiffer suspension and option of having/not having the sunroof in the x-package????

 

theres less stuff in the x package, you dont have the perforated leather, heated/vent seats HID, but the sport package doesnt have the front spoiler, illuminated sills that the X does

 

I think its the same AUX input, it mentions an interface for iPod/MP3/Windows Media Player, which is how the current AUX input is mentioned.
