2 2022 LS 500s are showing up. Maybe we are getting close.

Yup! And if you go to the comments in that video I asked him about the IS and he told me no extra IS's besides the one from last night, but now it says it shipped. And if I had to bet, I'm almost all but certain that there are more than just one lonely IS on that vessel.

At the risk of sounding old (I’m only 50), I don’t want to mod anything. I just want the car to be fully amazing by default; so if every 1st mod is the exhaust, then freaking tweak it before they’re shipped.

Only one would effectively be surprising as they are probably building a bunch of identical models at the same time, not only one (although I could be in the wrong here, I know they have special production techniques)

Updates all across the site today including a bunch of the F Sport Handling language etc which I believe was announce like freakin’ yesterday but that damn IS500 page is a ghost town.

At 51, I want the same!!! That being said, I know I will have to do a few mods like the LCA bushings and maybe some wheels - Wanna see it in teh flesh before I make up my mind. Luckily for us, thanks to TipsyTonio, we saw they have incorporated a few additional workers to paint the transmission cooler so that is one thing less I need to worry about (lol). All kidding aside, I will not be touching the exhaust...I don't want something loud on the outside. I know people with Merc that have exhaust the snap and crackle and it just looks so cheap to me but I am older at 51 (lol). I just hope the induction noise inside will be satisfactory

So, interestingly, for you Canadian peeps. It caught my attention that in Canada they are running a promotion for the month of November for the 2022 IS. Now here is my methodology; why would they offer a promotion if they know with all certainty that we won't be seeing 2022 IS on dealer lots in November? Dare I say, we might be seeing them by the end of the month??

@wthrman2 My parents and little brother are all MOPAR (2 Hellcat Chargers, 1 SRT Ram 10viper, a TRX, and a Durango Hellcat), so I know loud and I don’t want that madness! 😂

I think the induction noise will be more than enough, but God I love the LC’s…it’s pitch perfect and that’s what I hoped for.

Trust me, 4.9% is not a good promotion, we have seen 0.9% for almost always....Not sure who would take that rate here. That being said, when there is a promo available, if you apply for a credit application, it locks that promo for 30 days so hopefully they are hoping they'll get them soon. So technically, one could apply for a credit application on Nov 30th and have till the end of Dec. Thanks for keeping us update, we appreciate it eh?! (lol) ... Not trying to be flirty BTW HA HA HA

wthrman2

Amen but we know we won't be that lucky with the 2022...maybe by 2023 or 2024? I likely won't notice much anyway as I'll be blasting my good ol' country music twang through the ML. Nothing like Merle Haggard, Keith Whitley, Waylon Jennings or George Jones in a sexy IS500 to say "You fine ladies want to come to BINGO with me"?!?

Don’t worry. I know you’re not Carolina50 hahaha <3

Carolina50

Oh come on now...settle down Young Boo! lol (nervous laugh)

I am not sure about you guys but I am almost not looking forward to the IS500 arriving - We'll all be out driving and no one will be here anymore. I'll miss these ridiculous and fun chats - You folks are a pretty fun bunch of people!

TipsyTonio

I couldn’t agree more! It’d be great if we were all in the same region of the world; it would be one wild car meet.
