I have not found any info on this.
Yes it does. There are lights in the side mirror. And, if you get the Premium, it includes the 360 camera for backing up (and for approaching curbs if you turn it on).

The IS 500's price, which starts at $57,575 (including a $1,075 destination charge). If you select the Premium trim, which adds navigation, a Mark Levinson audio system, upgraded LED headlights, and a surround-view camera with front and rear parking sensors, the price jumps to $62,075.

maybe about $500 more for certain colors. A few hundred for floor mats and also $1100 more if you need a sunroof.

I don't know if memory package is included in Premium trim.

Lots of good news today folks. However, my local dealer isn’t even taking deposits from people because they said models may not even start production until the Spring!

Not sure if this includes launch models.

To be honest, I didn't learn much from this review even if it was very entertaining. It was the first time I saw the pricing, however, which is almost exactly what we expected based on rumors.

Link updated... I would say they were Spot On...

I wouldn't take this one out for an all day tack day 0%

Especially at the reported 3,891 pounds..

But they put one on the scales for accuracy as well equipped. @ 3,957 pounds

Seems the reviewers have a common complaint: the Premium's price. They compare to C63, or M3's base price, which is dumb. Those usually end up being specced out to like 80K. The IS500 at 62K (including shipping) is fully specced out. If you fully spec out the C43s or M340i's, they will end up closer to the 61K price of the IS500. NA V8 >>>>> twin turbo I6/V6 any day.

Exactly! I literally rolled my eyes after each one said it. ‘Nicely equipped’ should be the start of the comparison in this segment, the likelihood of a base ‘anything’ is low.

I'm pretty sure dealers wont be discounting the car to fit a budget.

The reviewers complaints are just opinion...i'm pretty confident they're not in the market to buy this car, nor are they the target market for it.
