2009 IS facelift (merged threads)
#542
Lexus needs to appeal more to the younger crowd with the IS and bring in some brighter colors like from previous gen. There should be younger colors that separate it from the other model line up especially the GS.
To me, Truffle Mica doesn't seem like a young persons color, by young I mean 20-35 yr olds. Why did Lexus abandon that yellow and med blue color from prev gen?

Does anyone know based on past years when the new model info might show up on the Lexus US website? It's already up on the Canadian site, and the US site has 2009 info for the SC and the SUVs. I wonder what the hold-up is with info about the IS (and other sedans).

A lot of people say the IS looks like a Scion, so it is what it is. The automobile speaks for itself, imo, with either set of tail lights. Probably, two people out of a thousand on the street would notice the tail light change.

2009 Japan ISX50
I've just been browsing on Japan's Lexus website and looked at the 2009 IS. Although I don't like the front end bumper and tail light redesign, everything else looks good, eg wheels and turn signal side mirrors. But the things that really caught my eyes were the two tone seats and the BLACK WOOD!! Damn, too bad it'll be darn expensive...or else I would get myself a set of those.
