Default What can u get on the 250 and not the 350 and vice versa?

I was just on Lexus' site and i noticed that you cannot get the backup camera on the 350....why? can it be special ordered? What else is exclusive to one model over another?

Im trying to decide between the 250awd and 350...

Thanks

I am pretty sure backup camera comes with NAVI on both 350 and 250.

I have an IS350 and I have the backup camera... It comes with the Luxury package with Navi.

Other than the bigger brakes, engine, and whatever comes standard on the 350, I think you can get all the options special ordered on the 250... I've seen many 250s with navis and such. Guys, can you add on this?

You don't need the luxury package to have the back-up camera.

It's standard with every navigation system.

The major differences between the IS 250 and IS 350 would include:

1) Engine

2) Brakes

3) VDIM

That's all I can recall off the top of my head.

The IS 250 and 350 aren't that different.

350's also come with 18" stock, while most 250's (atleast AWD's) come with 17" stock

The IS350 comes stock with 17". 18" wheels are an option which is on most IS350's, but still an option.

I have the 250awd & like it... but in my area it only snows a few times a year... for what thats worth, the awd is great! however me personally should have done my homework and bought the 350... it can be modified more than the awd! The best of both worlds... buy both... when money allows.. I am
That way you have a slick winter/ bad weather car and a fun summer car!

The backup camera comes standard with the Nav system. It doesn't matter if its a 250 or a 350

Actually the 18s are technically an option on both models. However almost every IS (non AWD) that you find will have the 18s, regardless of the 250/350 badge

You can't get the grin-inducing acceleration of the 350 on the 250...

The things the 250 can get that the 350 can't is awd, manual transmission, and the 250 emblem. But what the 250 CAN'T get that the 350 can however is 306 hp! lol

the 350's have the "auto" option for fresh air or re-circulate air.
