Great pictures. Your interior looks great especially the bamboo trim with Flaxen seating and door trims. Now I know in addition to Japan, there are European countries where bamboo is offered for the 3IS.
Your car is super classy, I LOVE IT! Lexus needs to offer that saddle brown for the f sport
Actually Lexus offers this combo in F Sport but in Japan. You can even get wood trim or bamboo trim in F Sport. Really wants to know what are reasoning/marketing behind the Lexus in US and Canada not to offer this.
Because it would push the price up to GS territory and most people would buy the bigger car in NA whereas people prefer smaller cars in Japan?
That is a good point. In Japan, they sell less RX but more CT according to the sales figure in the past few months. Interestingly, they also sell a lot more GS and LS in Japan.
Another thing is Lexus do bring all the options they have in their domestic market (ie Lexus Dynamic Handling (aka the rear wheel steering) for F Sport, powered auto folding mirrors, Nanoe air filtration, standard rain sensing wipers, pop-up hood, self healing paint), the price point will be in the realm of a base to semi-loaded GS in US and CAN.
I'm getting sick of people talking badly about this car as if it's an abomination. I mean, look at that last photo in Black. What's wrong with that?
Ok, fine, you don't like the grill, but c'mon, almost every single gad dam car on the road has something odd about it. Why single the IS350 out so much?
Kinda weird seeing you here on CL Sim(son)Tide985 and not Q50.org.... not near as many posts, but just as nice of an avatar!!

Thats crazy, if lexus offered saddle brown interior and MT, my buddy would be driving one now instead he put deposit on 4 series. I told him the 8 speed is amazing but guy wants his manual which I understand
