When I was first considering the FShort package i was a little apprehensive about the microfiber myself. Once I saw them and sat in them though I iiked them. The seats are supportive and grippy. I also find them extremely comfortable and the lumbar support is adjustable.

I will post pictures of the interior this weekend.
I had a RX sometime last year and the nav was OK. I do not have nav in my 08 IS250 AWD and want to give it a try on my next car. I have been yearning for more power so I want to upgrade to the 350 RWD next year. I also moved further south so snow isn't too much of an issue.

The closet dealer is over an hour away and I don't really like them (they are jack asses). I plan to go back to my dealer that I purchased my current car from, but they are like 5-6 hours up north. So I don't really have a shot to test drive anything.

ML = Mark Levinson sound system.

Thanks for giving me the info on the seats. When I first sat in the car I test drove in 08, I was extremely surprised at how comfortable the seats were. That pretty much sealed the deal that I would purchase the car that day hahaha.

The seat material is Leather & Alcantara
(Alcantara = Is a composite material that has the appearance and tactile feel similar to that of suede.)

The Seats are straight out of the IS-F..

The Aluminum Scuff pates are straight out of the IS-F

First off, that's an amazing car, very nice. What wheels are those? Are they standard for the IS250/350, or are they a part of the F-Sport package? I wonder if they would fit on an IS300?

These staggered 18's are specific to the 2011 Factory Equipped F-Sport Package.

So far only only found on the IS250 & IS350 RWD Sedans


You can buy ALL 4 for only approx $1800 , and they should easily fit the IS300

Of course I didn't miss that!

I guess I should've said looking forward the rest of his pictures, exterior and interior, as opposed to looking at the usual official pictures at the Lexus website and pressroom.
