Just went on Cars.Com and did a search of 2018 IS 350 of 100 mile radius of Los Angeles and only 9 cars showed up, and the car i recently purchased is still on the site....
Are these IS 350's that rare or just the big shipment hasn't arrived yet?

Anybody know if the OEM batteries that come with the car are AGM or Standard batteries? Want to give the battery a good charge before it goes in for clear bra/tint in a few days.

Love the package I got with my 300. ML + Radar cruise.
No need for the AVS system since I knew I was gonna bag it + I knew they would eventually make a tune for it.

Nicely spec'd.
On a tangent, there is a thread somewhere asking if IS350 F Sports will become classics. IDK, but a refreshed IS350 F Sport RWD sort of reminds me of the E46 ZCP sedans a little bit. And it's in a desirable color combo.

Here's my G-Meter this morning commuting thru the canyons in traffic. My goal is to get the lines off the scale! Did the prior year cars have this G-meter?

Having driven AWD cars for the past 10 years or so, if i ever get myself in trouble mid-turn, i just mash the gas and the car will fix itself.
Since this is RWD, i can't just mash the gas and pray the car will fix itself. So, wondering if its easy to initiate oversteer on these IS's. Or, if i turn off traction control, can i drift it?

Random question - the redline in the '17 and prior-year cars is 6600 RPM. Does the '18 rev out to the new 6800 RPM redline?

Car is getting dropped off at shop tonight for Xpel Ultimate clear bra and 3M Crystalline tint.
I'm only getting the full front coverage which includes: lights, front bumper, front fenders, mirrors, full hood.
Does the rocker panels take a lot of abuse? Should i get clear bra for the rocker panels?
