grand legacy has arrived at the long beach port as of 3 min ago and it is parked right where Toyota is at. Hoping the great news comes tomorrow when it gets unloaded

Lmao it actually is not, though Lexus of North Miami is still definitely awful. I won’t name them directly because I’m working with them and my car is at MSRP, but I’ll give a hint….
They are owned by one of the country’s biggest dealership networks…. and it is relatively close to Lexus of North Miami

 

New vid.
Ngl that Grecian Blue looks nice though some might argue otherwise..

 

^^ I find that the Enkei wheels look really nice when you see them in motion (~4:25), I like seeing the spoke design but OMG, they would/will be such a pain to wash, especially the inner part of the rim. With my current wheels and with the BBS wheels, their are bigger spoke's gap to put my hand in inside to rub/wash the inner wheel.

Also, like you and Carolina, I feel the GW is a nice color and shows the lines of the car quite nicely but to each their own - Even at the end of the video, where he compares the IS 500 and the 350 and shows the Iridium with the DHP, notice how drab the 350 looks and I think the wheels are the culprit. I recognize I am old school (and actually just old in general) but I much prefer a painted/lighter colored wheel. Now I doubt it's the Iridium's fault because I love Arentz' car....

 

Just noticed something interesting while reading the Lexus news and events (on their website - Canada) - It does mention in that press release that the LE does have the Silver Ash wood despite what the specification says on the website - It will be interesting to see if the sunroof will come on the LE. I still can't understand why they would make 50 LE different for the Cdn market but I could be wrong - We'll see soon as these are about to reach dealers within a month.

They also updated the specs sheet with a new row about the sunroof, why bother saying that the sunroof delete is stardard...

 

^^ That is beyond me - It is confusing to say "deleting the sunroof - Standard" I think we will only truly know once the car arrives here in Canada - I am still super curious to see the production car and the TCC (transmission cooler color) - 95% of me says it is silver! (lol)

Also - Impressive you posted the French version for us who are francophone on this forum

 

Yep…those wheels will be a pain to clean!

 

^^ Sorry if I already asked or if you recently posted and I missed in the flurry of posts lately, but any updates on your IS500?

^^ we need the names of the crew members too (LMAO)

 

No. 😡

I have not heard from either the young dude (who knows a lot) or the old dude (who knows very little). I made a note to follow up with both this Friday.

 

I noticed that the "Offers" button on the IS500 page only shows offers for the IS300 to IS350. Currently they have a 2.49% APR financing plus the usual military/student discount for the IS300 and IS350. Weird.

 

I dont expect much incentives or programs for the IS 500, this car is a bit of a low seller and they tend to offer incentives on the big sellers.
