Yours was officially the first IS 500 LE to hit the ground in Canada, and I took delivery on Dec 30, 2021.

Congrats again! I think it's been through a couple of dealers since I sold it last May. Between me and you, someone somewhere peeled off the 20% ceramic tint and mounted the front plate bracket that I protested mounting for so long!

Yeah, and not to disrespect, because it's a phenomenal car, but it was the suspension that had me sell the car and order my LC 500. Other than that and the interior, it really is a nice car. Every time I see a current-shape IS on the road I look twice to see if it's a 500, because I'm so glad that Lexus makes it.

^^ I haven't driven an LC 500, but from what I read, it is more of a GT car also. I think an F car would be the type of car that would give the more aggressive suspension feel you are searching for. I assume you drove the LC and you like it?

Well there are used LC 500's out there at "IS 500 pricing" or better. Different cars for different purposes. The LC is just gorgeous. I love that car.

Yeah I've spent many thousand miles behind the wheel of LCs, and I think my expectation from the IS 500 is that it'd drive like a four-door variant of that, and as a daily I handily prefer a four-door. The LC does drive brilliantly but I think it was moreso the interior quality (LC feels bespoke) and the suspension. I tracked my IS 500 once and the suspension calibration wasn't where I'd like it to be.

At least LE folks still get the exclusive interior touches like the number plate and microfiber seat covering.

Meh, I bought mine for the interior, and cause I knew what I was getting (supply concerns made it seem like picking a particular exterior and interior color combo would be difficult in 2022).
