Something is really odd, I bought my first IS 350 from JM Lexus in Margate FLback in 2007, at the time they were the largest and sold the most Lexus models in the nation. I've been watching their website for the past month for the 2017 IS and they are only showing in their new inventory the 2017 IS Turbo. In the past month I have never seen one 2017 IS 350 non F sport or even one F Sport.
Here we are the middle of Jan and there still not selling any 2017 IS 350's, only the Turbo IS. What is going on?
Did production stop for the 2017 IS 350?

IS350 are not that popular and tough to sell, and look exactly like their IS200t counter part. So many people would just opt for the lesser engine.
I work at Lexus, and I have not seen a 2017 IS350 either, I rarely saw 2016s as well.

I just don't think I could bring myself to pay close to 350 price for a 4 banger.

No, I think you are missing my point. I also watched the 2016 IS 350 and JM Lexus almost always had at least a few sometimes a dozen IS 350 mostly the F sport but they still had them. Now for 2017 all they are showing in new inventory are the 2017 turbo's. Something is not right. It's been several months now and JM Lexus the #1 volume dealer in the US and they have no 2017 IS 350's in new inventory. Not even 1 and I've been checking there website almost weekly. Something is strange.

For nearly all years of the IS, more people have bought the 250 and 200t compared to the 350. The extra power isn't worth it to most people. It's the same reason you see so many BMW 320i and 328is on the road compared to 335i or 340is.

Hey guys. I'm planning to buy a 2017 IS200t. The MSRP for my model (including my desired packages) is around $43K. The invoice price is approximately $39.5K.
Can someone give an idea as to what might be considered a good deal for this model with this price range?
Thanks!

+1 on this, I always wanted more power when purchasing the next vehicle, but what I discover was that from my 16+ years of driving and owing about 5-6 different cars. My own driving habit speaks volume. So I settled in on an IS300 over the IS350

The 2017 is300 f sport comes with the adaptive suspension!?!? And all those safety features for 800 bucks more!?!? Maybe I should have waited lol. Saw one today. The 17s look a little more stanced from the rear. Maybe it's the diffuser. No sport + mode but will tighten dampers.
do the 2016 models do anything else besides throttle response and tranny shift points when engaging sports mode/eco/normal? Feel like it doesn't tighten steering like some say.
