Wow. Return of incognito? Lexus did Launch Edition buyers dirty yet again. I have said it from day 1 and will keep singing the song.

The takeaways that caught my attention are:
- They mention black trim on the mirror. About damn time. No reason why you guys can get black window trim but you still had chrome on the mirror. I suspect it'll probably be a $50 part for each side and install is super simple (source: I know, I took my mirror apart lol)
- The wording is a bit vague but it seems the Special Appearance package will have blue stitching on the actual seats and dash perhaps? Unlike the 2023 SAP which only had orange on the key gloves and carpet mats.
- The return of the SmartAccess Key Card. Thank god. I can never go back to driving a car without one.
- Preach the lords, Grecian is gone. Sorry not sorry lol. I'm more sad about Atomic Silver being dropped. That was such a beautiful color and it was the color I was always set on if I ever made the switch to a 500.
- They mention an IS300 F Sport. I no likey. Now I have to actually look at the numbers on the back to tell whereas before I just knew that if it had the gloss black diffuser, the F Sport badge, and the F Sport Front Bumper, it was a 350, not a 300. And you best know some people will just get the 300 and debadge it and maybe even upbadge it.

So in other words no shocking updates just some fiddling with the colors a bit as expected. So those of you holding out for the next gen tech can give up now and get a '23 if it is in your dealers lot.

Am I guessing you do not want the Blue Vector color?
