Confgratulations on whoever already took delivery of the car, i am in wait list not sure how long
btw, can any non LE owners confirm if car comes with transmission cooler or not? Also anyone got base model at MSRP yet? thanks!

There is no trans cooler in the LE or non-LE and no base models have been delivered yet, but when they do I imagine MSRP is possible. Many of us have gotten premiums at MSRP.

What dealership are you waiting at and what's your color choice? Good luck, excited for you.

thanks for the info friend! Trans cooler is a bummer, i really want to install it if there is any option with dealer. I am planning to go base model with grecian water. I am in Seattle and talking to multiple dealers here, very few allocations in this area for some reason.

Neighbor to the south here in Oregon, and yes I agree there are few cars coming to our soggy little corner here. Bellevue was able to snap up some launch editions from other dealers with some trades so I think they may have some more sway than the others, but Lynwood was easier to work with when I was looking. Best of luck!

I’m a little confused and hoping someone here could clarify this for me. Why would a new IS 500 list a certified pre-owned PDI in the service history? See attachment.

I already hate the Bridgestone tires. In my 200 miles so far they've already grown noisier, like all Bridgestone tires. I hope I can make it until these die, but I may swap them early too.

I agree, mine have also gotten noisier over time. When I first got the car, I thought they'd be decent, but that changed after just a few hundred miles. I will give them this - on a back road they feel pretty good. Not particularly sporty, but they have enough grip to have some fun with. I am sure PS4S will be an upgrade for me once these are ready to replace. Or I might even go ahead and do it this summer.

Michelin is releasing the 5th generation soon so might as well get that.

When is the release?

They've been making mistakes like this since the 70's. I first noticed it with the 66 lbs of downforce from the "functional wing" on the 1993 Supra and other complete lies made up about other models.

Looks like the summer tire only. I'm going to try the all-season's.

Ok, I thought the conversation was about getting tires that performed better than the OEM summers.
