I’ve had both and the ‘23 steering is a bit heavier than the ‘22.
There’s definite disagreement on this point but I’m in the camp that thinks the IS500’s steering feel could be much better and is one of its few shortcomings. Still though it’s light years ahead of the BMW alternatives.

Also some interior bits are different colors/finishes.

Ya so far the slightly louder exhaust is the only other real difference I’ve noticed. I had thought they upped the sport & sport+ settings, but I think I’m really just noticing the heavier steering and slightly louder exhaust.

Not ****ting on your post. Very helpful. Just wanted to clarify that this only consists of the cars in one of the two regions in the Eastern US. There are no Georgia, SC, or Florida dealers listed here since we fall under the Southern Region.
It's listed by paint and interior code rather than by actually typing the name out.
Off the top of my head the most I can say is 0223 is Caviar Exterior and 04W7 is Molten Pearl.

i would jump at a dark green (e.g British racing green) or a dark purple (Black Amethyst from the LFA), would be happy to pay extra for that. sadly, I doubt the 2024 special edition would be either of those colors, also like the standard rims over the BBS (doesn't hurt standard rims are cheaper as well)

Maybe we can all will it into existence, it seems like it's Toyota's thing to make a bunch of different editions. Maybe a CF edition, or a black edition. But would also love to see a less common color over just adding CF or Blacking more out (which can be done aftermarket).
