I was at Kuni Portland yesterday for an oil change, and they already had several '07 models. The dorsal fin 
looks better in person. For some reason it looks really tall in that picture, but in person it's much more sleek. I asked the service rep and he thought that it could be installed on an '06 but he didn't have the details.

My dealership had 4 2007 IS250 only with the shark fin. No 07 350's, yet.
Someone had posted an 2007 brochure that stated there would be Ipod integration, although at the dealership it was not on the list of goodies, could it be there is and they didn't list it????

I thought there was something familiar about that picture. That's my Lexus dealership, Lexus of Silver Spring. Very good people there! I have purchased a total of 5 Lexus cars from them since 1995.

As for liking/disliking the "shark fin", I remember when there was a similar argument regarding the center rear brake light and we're all accustomed to that device now.

That Fin is an extra that on most other vehicles is implemented otherwise.
If the majority of vehicles had fins then perhaps it would grow on me...but I still think it crab and would assume just leave it for Bimmers. Damn Lexus puttin on new LS and everything I assume now.

I remember when the new 2005 corvette came out with a wart...we called it a wart because for the coupe model it only came in black square. In the 2006 model, the xm antenna was built-in to the side mirrors, no wart or fin. I don't understand why lexus/toyota do the same or similar solution.
