Just ordered my IS350!
Been lurking around here for about a week or so, and I finally bit the bullet and placed an order for my IS350. No dealerships anywhere around Texas had the configuration I was looking for, so I figured a special order would be better than just "settling" for what was on the lot.
Tungsten Pearl, black leather interiod, nav + ML sound and the sport package. They say it takes 90 - 120 days ... so ugh, now the wait!
At least I still have my G37S in the meantime ... but I can't wait to get into my 350!!
Just had to share

Thanks everyone! I'll definitely put up some pics in 3 - 4 months when I get it haha
I agree with this. I had tested out both of them while I was there and the ML is definitely clearer and crisper. I found that I can increase the bass and treble more without noticing distortion in the sound, so I also think it would be worth the wait after testing out both.
I believe it came out to about 42.7, but then I added on the rear spoiler, so I guess 43?
It's funny that you mention that. I actually will be giving up the G37S when I pick up my IS350. It's a lease, so it's nothing that I can really opt to keep long term anyway. I could buy it out, but it's just not worth it after having made so many payments. Overall I think that Lexus has a better quality than Infiniti (personal taste), and it would ideally be the car I can keep for 10 years (at least I hope). So I'm going to enjoy the G for a few more months, and then enjoy a different car

I'm partially curious as to what the 2011 changes will be, but I really don't think that it will be much. As far as what the 2010 models came with, it basically has everything on my checklist of wants in a car. It will still be another 5 or so months before the 2011 models roll out right? Then if none of them have what I want on them, then it's another 3 - 4 months out for that. While I could wait, I figure I will be happy the 2010 IS350 has basically everything that I want in a car. I'm not really sure that any new tech or such would come out soon that will make me regret buying the car now
My main reason for moving into a Lexus was for comfort. The IS250/350 is way more comfortable in terms of the quality of materials and fit and finish of the cabin. I can't imagine that any change will come out to make the comfort aspect go up even more :P

Congrats! what part of TX are you in?
I was looking at G35's back when I got mines and the IS350 felt so much smoother.... but those G37's are clean.... post pics when you get it....

I love the look of the G37 ... well from the front. I don't care for the rear as much. I prefer the G35 rear, but I can't be too picky. However, I LOVE the look of the ISx50. I have always loved 4 door sedans compared to coupes, so I think I'm a little biased :P

very true about the backend of the G37.... I also like the option of having the 4 doors
