loving the color.....

 

The color reminds me of the blue LF-LC concept.

 

Everyone is saying they love the color, but am I understanding correctly that this particular blue is not actually going to be available?

2014 Lexus IS 300h - Around the car Video

• Get a closer look at the new Lexus IS as we take a tour around the car.
  In addition to the Lexus IS at the Geneva Motor Show, we’ve got a new video of the car in an as-yet-unseen Opal Blue colour – the same shade used on the LF-LC Blue concept last year – watch it at the foot of this post.

Enjoy,

Ultra Blue/Ultrasonic Blue will be available. The colors are not exact but they are similar in shade.

 

Styled exhaust tips have long been one of the most sporting features of a sport package or sport sedan. Nil here. Shame shame. Hybrid or not, a sport packaged car needs tips.

 

Are we still not getting this IS300h in the US market? Please someone who has ties to higher up folks at Lexus to tell Lexus NA to bring this car here. PLEASE!

 

European F-Sport - base - will have half leather/half cloth seats?

  Paul Van der Burgh, Director of Lexus Europe, welcomes us to the new Lexus Stand and introduces the new IS 300h and IS 300h F SPORT models.

  Introducing Full Hybrid technology to the IS range for the first time, the new IS 300h F SPORT is powered by our very latest Lexus Hybrid Drive. This delivers 223 DIN hp of power, yet emits less than 100g/km of CO2, for a uniquely refined driving experience. You'll sense this behind the wheel, as you interact with the car using paddle shifts, innovative electrostatic air conditioning controls, or the F SPORT's stunning instruments that were inspired by the iconic LFA supercar.

Here is another YouTube special... LoL

Since the leather seat is an option the base probably has half leather or cloth sport seats...

If I got it right the you wont be able to have sunroof on F-sport in EU. Its only available as option on the highest speced non F-sport model...

 

video above has it... Euro has different equipment for different markets... for instance UK is usually very limiting.
