Yeah That's the one thing I like about Scion-- there are no packages (but then there is only one choice for interior too haha) -- Everything for the most part is considered an accessory and can be installed at any time and does not require that you pick a certain color and/or other accessory

 

saw a few 2k9 2is's @ stevens creek after EOS (they were moving the cars back into the lot). long story short, it doesn't look all that great from the front, the chrome trim on the side mirrors look tacky, and the rims are less than desireable... but the rear bumper w/ the faux diffuser looks kinda cool.

i wonder if it's a straight-up swap?

 

Can any of you who work for or have connections with dealerships verify that it is not possible to special order a 2009 IS250 manual with luxury package in the ordering system?

 

I like the new black vents - anyone confirm that they will fit older model?

 

hey-- I just checked our ordering system at TMS and for an 09 IS250 Manual Transmission, the luxury package is NOT available. The only packages available are:

Premium Package Includes: Heated and Ventilated Front Seats, Wood Interior Trim, and Perforated Leather Seat Upgrade


'X' Package Includes: 18" Liquid Graphite Finish Alloy Wheels with Summer Tires, Sport Tuned Suspesnion, Alloy Sport Pedals, Illuminated Scuff Plates, Front Lip Spoiler

 

Is the luxury package available for order on an IS350? My dealership cannot seem to provide a straight answer on this. Thanks!

 

It sure is For the 350, the available Luxury packages are:

Luxury Package (17" RWD) Includes: HID+Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS), Heated & Ventilated Front Seats, Perforated Leather Seat Upgrade, Wood Interior Trim, Power Tilt/Telescoping Steering Wheel, Drive & Passenger Memory Seats, Illuminated Scuff Plates, Power Rear Sunshade and Rain-Sensing Wipers


Luxury Package (18" RWD) Includes: 18" Alloy Wheels w/ 225/40R18 Fr + 255/40R18 Rr All-Season Tires, HID+Adaptive Front Lighting (AFS), Heated & Ventilated Front Seats, Perforated Leather Seat Upgrade, Wood Interior Trim, Power Tilt/Telescoping Steering Wheel, Driver & Passenger Memory Seats, Illuminated Scuff Plates, Power Rear Sunshade, and Rain-Sensing Wipers

 

Thanks for checking for me.

 

don't you have work to do? (unless you work in sales) /OT

what about nav? and the mark levinson upgrade sound system?

 

Are there any confirmations from dealers regarding the availability of the Card Key instead of the Key Fob? There was another thread about it last week, but now that dealers are starting to get information/actual vehicles, can anybody confirm?

 

Anytime In the future, if you have any other questions feel free to PM me!

projectdna: Of course I'm working! Haha I'm just so awesome.com that I can post on here in the few small moments of downtime I get during the day haha

And the Nav/ Mark Levinson is available on all model/color combos.

 

They did this for the last batch of 08 IS250's for the Western Region. All the last remaning 08 250's in dealer lots right now have no HID.

 

yup thats right..a friend of mine just got the 09 with Nav options etc. but without HID lights to my surprise..a bit oddd

 

that sucks a lexus with no OEM HID and no AFS??

 

Comparison Picture, old vs new. The new one is the grey one. Notice more chrome around the grille border, and at the bottom corners there is kind of a 'squiggly' finish at the bottom corners, vs. the sharp corners on the old model. Grille and bottom honeycomb seem to be the same. Foglight size seem to be the same. Bumper is more 'one piece', and the twin separation at the bottom is a bit fatter and rounder. It is harder to notice the bumper change on darker colored cars. Obviously you can notice the chrome from a mile away (it even blinded my camera.. LOL)
