Wireless AppleCarplay and Android Auto sure is nice though.
The size, placement and the angle of the screen needs some getting used to, to put it mildly...I wonder how the right-most edge of the screen will look like from the passenger's side. Will it show the entire protruded edge or is it just a thin slab of LCD screen.

Looks like it's still somewhat tablet style, so it just slightly protrudes off the dash.

Again, I don't. I hope the IS gets a true interior update, but I'm not interested in a clunky SUV style interior with a tablet.

this thread is so long I don't recall if this has been discussed already. does anyone know if the OEM exhaust set up/layout of the IS500 will be similar to the RCF? I'm wondering if the Amuse R1 Titan TI rear section that's made for the RCF would fit on the IS500.

I was wondering the same thing, would love to know if the Valvetronic bazooka axle back from RR racing will fit. It's been a minute since any news or info, hopefully, we get to hear something soon. I would love pricing sooner than later as it would allow those ordering to figure out what all they want on their vehicles

This guy squeaked out “October”, then back pedaled to “fall”

exactly. really want to know pricing and when these things will starting hitting the showroom. I've began the process of putting my Macan back to stock and have been getting some online appraisals to get a ballpark of what my car will fetch. I'll probably sell my current car late August and borrow my inlaw's Acura until the IS500 is available.

My salesman said: “I don’t know, we’ve heard September, OCTOBER, and November.”

His emphasis was not lost on me. 😉

Be prepare to pay markup in current state of chip shortage and dealers are desperate to keep inventory of any cars.

I’d say you are spot on, heard rumors. Im also blessed to see 3 is500 come thru for corp. silver, blue and red. So keep a lookout on SoCal streets. You can easily miss them as I had them parked side by side to a fsport and you can bearly notice differences.

those mark up are no joke. I’m not one who like to pay mark up on something that can be had for msrp later down the road. I think it will be ball park of 5 or 10k over.

I’m pretty sure of it. It’s unfortunate that this car will come out at the worst time for consumers to buy one and it will be out of reach for most because of it.
