Everything should be stock. They only had 1 F-sport IS350. The Stock IS250/350 might have lower springs or just on sport springs because they all had minimal wheel gap.

why no more rotary control of the moonroof? I think rotary looks much better than the 09. it reminded me of my friend's civic's moonroof !!

i want the folding mirrors for my dumbo ears... the side mirrors are nice minus the chrome. They made the front grille cleaner looking but it just adds more chrome . The rear tail lights have that l-finess style to it . I like the front bumper on the 09 better in stock form looks more aggressive. The stitching is a nice touch that gives it a more sport vibe to it. Lets not be to quick to judge until we see in person... it'll grow on you if you don't like it already

I agree, it made the 2IS unique but I think the new interior looks great. That was the option I was looking for when I got my 2IS.

I'm still waiting for clear close-up shots of the front and rear before I'm able to give an opinion on the changes. It's amazing how out of all these pics that are surfacing, I still can't really see a clear shot of the front and rear.
