The info has not been confirm directly by Toyota or Lexus Corp. I got the info from the web. It is also mention in MyIS.com. Supposedly the info was leaked from a top level exec. in Toyota North America. So what can I tell you, if I were you I'll wait 6 months. We will know for sure maybe by August or Sept '07. The best time to buy is @ the end of the months of December and January. That's the time to meet and exceed the anual quota.

1) Have to research all over again. Let me see what I can do. For starters, look in MyIS.com

2) That depends on the dealer and salesrep. To meet the quota, sometimes they are willing to go as far as selling a car with 0% comission to the salesperson. Of course, the dealer and salesperson wins in other ways if they meet the quota.

I'm not for HDD in a car -- how do they cool it? Heating problems would be my biggest concern -- don't want to burn it up, and even then it will probably a 5200 rpm lump of junk. However, a Lexus run by Linux would be awesome.
I believe that Lexus will not put a piece of crap HDD in their car... EX: the LS460
At least they will have some ways to keep it "reliable" hehe
Kinda trust Lexus...

I can't find the link, but I saw your thread @ MyIS.com. Apparently NewIS350 is the same guy that is spreading the word about the inclusion of the HDD in the IS '08.

There is a big possibility the info is false. Look @ his answer. He hasn't given answer about his source or his reliability.
