Neat! Dark finish rims would be pretty sweet, but the key part is "on sale this fall". That pretty much means October/November.

From the article:


IS 500 F SPORT and IS 500 F SPORT Premium
For 2023, the IS 500 will offer standard new 19-inch Enkei alloy wheels with a dark finish. Based on the success of the 2022 IS 500 Launch Edition, the 2023 IS 500 will also continue the exclusive 19-inch Matte Black BBS forged alloy wheels as an available option for both IS 500 F SPORT Performance models.

For those who want to take their IS 500 to the next level, an all-new 2023 Special Appearance Package will be offered on the IS 500 F SPORT Premium grade. This exclusive packaging includes head-turning Molten Pearl exterior paint with Black NuLuxe® interior and complemented by the distinct 19-inch Matte Black BBS forged alloy wheels. The 2023 Special Appearance Package also includes unique color-matched floor-trimmed mats and matching key gloves.

The 2023 IS 500 F SPORT Premium with the Special Appearance Package will be limited to 150 units and will go on sale this fall.

How ridiculous would it be to consider trading in a 2022 IS500 LE for the special appearance package Molten Pearl? I love that colour and Canadians get moonroofs this year.

I'd only really consider it if I wouldn't lose much or best case scenario come out even.

I agree. That's a 1.12% increase.

I guess the Japanese haven't heard that inflation is 8% in the US (according to the fake news media) or 30% if you include food/gas (real number).

They updated the picture on Lexus.com showing 2023 IS500 but when you click to build one, it still says 2022. This is progress
