Talking Now Available "X PACKAGE" - w/PICS (No 56k)

After the Taste of Lexus Event here in SoCal, a few of us drove to a local Orange County Lexus dealer close by and we were able to see the new X - Package IS that is now available. The odd part of the 2, X Package IS350 we saw was they were also bundled with the Premium Package. Mind you these are packaged for Lexus Western Region.

Premium Package - MSRP $1290.00
Heated/Ventilated Front Seats
Perforated Leather Seating
Wood Trim

X Package - MSRP: $1,455.00
18" 5 Spoke Aluminum Alloy Wheels (Graphite finish)
Sport Tuned Suspension (Same setup as Sport Package, .5" lower springs)
Aluminum Sport Pedals (Same as Sport Package but w/wood trim)
Illuminated Scuff Plates (Same as Luxury Package)
Front Lip Spoiler ONLY (from Lexus Aftermarket Accessory Package)

IS350 X Package - Obsidian





IS350 X Package - Tungsten




IS350 X Package - 5 Spoke Wheel




IS350 X Package - Interior (i'm not quite sure why they put the wood trim and the aluminum accessories, it looks out of place IMHO)




IS350 X Package - MSRP Window Sticker

hmm, I am indifferent on the wheels, probably because on the obsidian they appear light but on the silver they look more graphite. Need to see in person to see if I like better than Stock and ISPs.
Any more pics of the Silver IS?

According to the FSM, the ride height drop is only 10mm, not quite 0.5" (12.52mm). Also, the sport suspension appears to be just springs and shocks, not swaybars. Too bad.

Sadly the sport suspension springs share the same spring rate as the regular version.
