I’m thinking 18” will clear that caliper?
It looks like the same GS350F 4-pots caliper & 355mm disc. (FRONT)

+1, someone in the local group thought they might have used the same ones from the GS 350 F Sport. Two-piece rotors and all.

With just over 7 days till the embargo lifts, does anyone think the price gets leaked, or is the ship sealed tightly?

^^ I doubt will have Canadian leaks - Things from Lexus Canada trickles like maple syrup up here I am still going with 72k (low) to 75k (high) for the Canadian version - we'll see soon I guess

Base price? Isn't the American base price around the low-mid 50's? If so, I would think 65-68k is more realistic.

Canadian models come fully loaded only - there is no "base" model. Like @wthrman2 said stuff from Lexus Canada tends to be slower than Lexus USA.

JBison - As roastpuff said, I am Canadian so the price I was speculating was for our market - We won't get two trims here, we'll have an IS500 (with a packaged determined by Lexus Canada on what they feel we want) and the Launch Edition. The 72-75K prediction was the range of the price I am expecting for the non-Launch edition. I am hoping it will be 72K here but it maybe closer to 75K....7 days to go

That's a good price (converting to USD) at $62k for the LE and $58k fully loaded. Seems too good to be true.

Lexus Canada prices their cars a bit lower than Lexus USA does if you do a conversion straight across. Compare the IS350 for example.

Price is on the upper end of what I'd like... but acceptable. If true.

$58k fully loaded does kind of seem too good to be true lol. If so, why would anyone buy a IS350 with DHP for $55k??? I cannot wait though.
