Are you guys wanting 24 details to trade in your 22 or 23? Or are most of the posters in this thread brand new 500 owners?

changes can't be that different to want to trade in for a 24, right?

Been waiting to trade in my 2021 IS350 as soon as an IS500 I want becomes available.

As for 2024, first I want confirmation there are no infotainment changes (not expecting any). Next, I want to know if there are any special colors (someone hinted there is). Finally, I want to know if they are changing the wheels again (I like the 2023 Enkeis).

if there's a new color, i'm going to guess flare yellow. it's the only color left that hasn't released from the RCF/GSF line (not including special editions ie fuji raceway or 10th anniv matte grey)

That could look cool, there’s a flare yellow RC near us that I see all the time, definitely stands out. I used to love yellow, ever since the phoenix yellow Integra Type R.

Same, I love yellow ITRs. Also love a Rio Yellow S2K.

Nori green pearl would suit this car well given how well it looks on the LC . I am curious about any wheel changes.

Now if they replace the 8-speed trans with the 10 speed trans found in the LC, then I would definitely consider trading in my 23 !!! LOL.

::heehee:: A new transmission is highly unlikely; but if Lexus surprises us with it, I would be hard pressed not to get it! 😂

Then again, mine hasn’t experienced any of the 3 major mechanical/body issues, so I might just leave well enough alone and ask you guys for rides! 😜

I’d be very tempted to trade in my LE for a Nori green IS. That color is just fantastic, and worth the upgrade in my opinion. Is it wise? Nope, but that color is the one I’d be stupid for.

Waiting on the MY2024 info too! Currently have 15' RCF but contemplating going to a MY24' RCF for the final production year or waiting to see what the IS500 has in store for this year. Hopefully a transmission tune/update and a carbon package become available. Dealer says production starts in October. So we should see orders opening imminently.

If we ever received a manual (not holding my breath) I would be on the list to trade immediately. Otherwise I waited so long to land my spec that’s about the only thing that would get me out of it. I’m with Tony, knock on wood I have had zero issues out of my ‘23. Still loving this car.

I got the ultra white / circuit red also because of the 90's 00's type R's. Such a great color combo, super clean.

Champ White with Red Recaros. Stuff of my dreams back in the day — and today if I’m being honest. Simple and perfect.

I was told by my dealer that Vector Blue would be the new Special Appearance Package for 2024. It looks a lot like Porsche's Miami Blue. Does anyone know of any other model that this color has come on? I'd like to see actual pictures of it before possibly placing an order.
