I really don't mind the L shaped reverse lights, I just hate the vertical amber piece

the japanese website say the is250 will be making 215 PS which is almost 212 hp ... so i guess there is an slight horsepower increase

Guys, about the japanese HP figures... the 06-08 is350 came out with 318hp in japan, here its rated at 306hp due to the new ASE standards that came out a couple of yrs back, if they rated it the old way it would probally be 318hp here too (course some technical nerd will post up to correct me

)... so there is no 'increase', its the same hp as before, so dont get excited
