Yes! For those waiting, hang tight in there. this is one tight chassis. Feels molded like a block of cement - which is a good thing. And the build quality is truly impressive.

I am impressed by something as simple as the quietness and effectiveness of the wipers. They feel so much nicer than other cars In the stable that cost far more.

Do our cars have ambient lighting?

giS - That is one sexy/menacing pic!! I love it!! Pretty soon, "Answer" should be posting his. Despite him begging me to lay on the hood of his LE in my speedo for a shoot, I declined but I am sure his car will look good nonetheless

HA HA - I am so excited to finally see it in person - I have never seen a red interior on the new 2021+ IS so that will be the game changer. The only two things that could be a deal breaker would be the red interior and the wheels. The wheels are easily changeable with ordering 3 more IS 350 OEM wheels. I can't do much about the interior color if I don't like it.

Real tip, I let Lexus replace my wipers every year. You don’t realize how whisper quiet they are until you’re in other cars. 😎

You’re gonna love the Lexus Experience and as you can see, down to the smallest detail!

I just realized that I have been driving a Lexus since 2015 and I have never ONCE even turned on the wipers (on my 2015 IS, 2017 IS, 2019 RC and 2021 IS) - How sick is that??! The OCD of not ever driving in the rain makes me miss out on these great wipers apparently (lol)
