I think this is a bummer, since the seats and gauges alone make the F Sport so much different compared to the base models. The F Sport seats are phenomenal. But now I have to get the LSD and the AVS to get the seats? That seems a bit daft if you ask this guy.
Nope you don't have to get the LSD or the AVS to get the seats. They come as a part of the F Sport Handling Package which is optional on the full blown IS350 F Sport (not F Sport Design). All they did was confuse the lineup lmao

I wanted black wheels in the beginning, but the silver Enkeis have totally grown on me. It’s a trade off, the silver emotes luxury and the black emotes sport. It’s what speaks to you I reckon.

Excuse me while I go change my pants. I think another user painted his and it came out glorious (I know taste is subjective, but I know I'm right in saying they look stunning.)

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I don’t think offering the Incognito is fair to the LE owners. Yes the black hood/roof will be hot, but those folks paid a lot extra for the exclusivity.

As far as I can tell, you can't get it on the 500, if that matters.

Wait so now you can get a IS350 F sport without the digital tach? I think that's a first. I don't like that, but I do like the option to have glazed caramel nuluxe and rioja red (welcome back) in the IS350 F sport for once.

Exhaust system for $1975 now showing up as an accessory for the ‘23 IS500 whereas it didn’t show up for as a ‘22 IS500 accessory option. The image for it does show just the dual exhaust on an IS350 though.

Edit - now mentions “cool air intake” under performance tab. Can’t recall seeing that previously and it’s not mentioned in the ‘22 IS500 brochure.

Frankly, I don't trust it. Though that exhaust seems more expensive than what I remember for the 350 models. We will have to see once cars actually start showing up in inventories.

Agreed. Would think Lexus would include a photo of an IS500 with it given the differences from an IS350 exhaust.

I emailed the dealer, they cant order it. They said maybe in November/December when the new catalogs come out.

Spoke with one of the dealers I reached out to yesterday. Got some interesting tidbits that may or may not be true, so large grains of salt.

They have the ability to order the specific color combos now. They will only be building the Premiums again, no base. Limited run once again.

They also told me the wrong MSRP, so take it as you will lol but either way, first on their list for the #2023LUE

How many year cycle is the 21 refresh supposed to have again? Currently we are going to get 2023 models so when is the last model year supposed to be? 2023? 2024?

Einstein’s definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Take that as you will.

According to an interview I read from somewhere previously, Lexus management said the the last model year of the current IS (including the IS500) will be 2024.
