Can't PM either. The dealership is Lexus of Orange Park in Jacksonville, FL. They'll only sell the LE within 200 miles of Jacksonville. The LE number is 140s.

My contact there is Sandra. I have her personal number, but don't want to post it on a public forum. Sent you a message on your instagram.

As more and more real life pictures trickle in, the Enkei wheels look the best of all the available options for the IS, including IS350 and IS500.

They do look good, but those matte black BBS wheels on the LE are amazing!

So question for you peeps. I’m trying to add my car which is still in transit (it hits the port tomorrow) to the Lexus app. But when I put it in the app it doesn’t give me the option to even see the miles or gas or tire pressure. Heck, it makes it seem like my car has no remote features. See above. Yet I added the vin of another car that has been processed at a port already, and it shows all the remote features. See below. Am I doing something wrong? Does this get enabled at the port??

Awesome! I wanted to ask.

So we’re all in our pajamas and settled around the fireplace.

1. As a real world driver, what are your driving impressions?

2. I’m sure you’ve seen all the reviews too, which reviewer was closest to capturing the essence of the IS 500? I’m thinking RedLine or MotoManTV. Which one was way off?

3. How does the exhaust sound at street and highway speeds? Do you think a mod is necessary? I’m hoping it’s richer and throatier in person.

So. Freaking. Exciting!

Ya, been having the same issue here for the last two weeks. Apparently the 'remote services' are not activated until the car is offloaded at the port, either because the car is out of range in the middle of the Pacific or because the port distributor themselves activate it prior to shipping to the dealer. But once you do see gas levels, mileage, etc, at least you'll know it's at the port.
