The rumor mill going around was 3 model years, so ending after 2024. We'll get an announcement around mid-summer from the Lexus Pressroom if it'll be getting a MY2024.

Who knows what's gonna happen next, trend seems to be EV but auto manufacturers including BMW, Toyota/Lexus, Subaru, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai and some other ones that I can't remember still investing a lot in Hydrogen maybe trend will change to Hydrogen once they find ways to make the fuel cheap and better ways of package the tanks in a car.

Same. I think I like them as much or more than the BBS.

Do we know of anyone that has swapped their BBS for Dark Enkei, and how that turned out financially? Is it an even trade?

Dark grey Enkeis scream “I was a loser that couldn’t get a IS 500 in 2022” while silver Enkeis scream “I was a loser that overpaid for my 2022.” LOL.

Dude based on the comments you make here, have you considered getting another hobby? Like knitting, hiking, or having a girlfriend? Maybe cars just aren't for you.

Visually, the Enkeis look better, a lot of people agree. Functionally, the BBS are better. But some people don't care about saving 4lbs per corner for looks, this isn't a Porsche forum.

And I actually paid under MSRP for my 2022 🙃

Sorry guys, my bad for taking the thread off topic! This is about the dataset you’ve created, I’ll keep it at that

macmaster

The dude who comes up with an Excel spreadsheet to track every single IS500 and calls it his Love Story is telling ME to get a girlfriend. LOLLLLLLL. This is why I hang out here. You can’t make up this **** up. The comedy here is better than Netflix at times.

It will be interesting to see how long the 500 will be available. I wouldnt be surprised if Lexus Canada maybe makes the 2024 the last MY available while Lexus USA to keep it until the last production year which I predict will be 2025 with the 4G IS coming out for the MY 2026. I anticipate 4 cylinder turbos across the board with maybe a more potent version with electric assist and then see a full electric version becoming available at the mmc like 2029 or so...but pure speculation. For the record, Ican barely tell what the weather will be in 3 days so just an entertainment prediction

Now gotta go pick up some yarn to make fuzzy slippers

@macmaster Please keep the childish comments to yourself, or else don't post. You can exit the thread now.

I called it a love story, not my own. I did it because I like collecting data.

If you're just going to act like a ******** on the internet, you can just leave you know. But if not, don't worry, I wrote you a song:

abdrury

Yes that’s a sweet deal for sure. Hey maybe we’re all winning just by even being in the conversation

DLPTony

Right on. 👍🏽🤘🏽👏🏽

It's in my garage parked next to the Supra. Definitely winning.

So I’ve got a deposit on the MOL VIN -3312, and looks like only nine more MOL VIN’s after that—does that mean that only nine more were produced after the one I have a deposit on?
