#261 in this thread said Incognito is coming back for MY24.

Did they say what the interior color is?

Last week it told me that nothing was found for all 2024 IS', but this week it shows a Emergency Response Guide assigned to the 2024 IS300, IS350, and IS500. I suspect we are a couple of weeks away before I'll be able to grab the owner's manuals for the car, but this is a sign that the good old 2UR lives on for at least one more year. I'll update this thread once I eventually get the owner's manuals or any additional info.

Its Canadian so a higher number is actually worst fuel economy.

Exactly.

Those are the same numbers a previous years, and clearly a typo since there's no chances the 500 will get AWD anytime soon.

Incognito is coming in all interior colors. And blue vector is being made fast and quick. Either gonna be a low number of 24’s or all the blue vectors will be made early in the year.

Still no owners manuals or press release, but today the RC and RCF got their 2024MY press release. Nothing crazy or special on that press release as far as features, but one thing that caught my eye was their statement that 2024 was the last year for the RCF Track Edition. Now this begs the questions, is that the last year of the 2UR as well? Will the 2025 RCF feature a twin turbo 6? Is this all speculation until 2025, yes, but something to keep in the back of your mind.

2024 RC and RC-F

Lexus posted the 2024 RC and RC-F specs overnight, some new colors, but nothing notable on any new features. Hopefully that means the 2024 IS500 news will come shortly. I'm guessing it will be similar to the RC colors.

Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 standard on 2024 RC and RC F
• RC now offers Cloudburst Gray as an exterior color
• RC F Track Edition adds Ultra White, Cloudburst Gray, and Caviar as exterior color options
• Starting MSRP of $45,920 (includes DPH)

Lol, beat ya to it. Thanks for putting the link though. With the exception of the engine comment I posted above, we can't really use the RC as a reference point for colors and the such on the IS. For one, the RC was never offered Grecian, whereas the IS was. The RC also had Molten Pearl as a standard color available on any RC at one point, whereas the IS limited it to 150 cars. Just my 2 cents

Haha...beat me by 1 minute! Guess it was me taking the time to get the link set up, lol.

I'll be at the Lexus dealer tomorrow getting my GS350 oil changed, so I'll ask if they have any more details.
