I've only seen one other IS 500 in my area (at least that I'm sure of) - I was leaving the local shopping mall last week and an identical appearing (black on white) IS 500 was just coming in. Of course we low-key waved to each other
Today I was behind what looked like an IS 500 (diagonally stacked, stock-appearing exhaust) in traffic, but it was badged as a 350, so not sure if it was intentionally mis-badged or was really a 350 with swapped mufflers/aftermarket exhaust - didn't hear it due to traffic moving slowly and me turning left.

I've heard the trend is for non 500's to get stacked quad exhausts. Thats probably the case and not misbadged.
As we approach MY2024, I've gotta say it's been slim pickings seeing another IS500 in the greater Toronto area. I've seen only 3 (an LE, a cloudburst, and a white one). It's a bit of a tougher sell up here given our winters, so unless one is OK with RWD and slapping on winter tires (which are tough to find with stock wheels) or getting a solid set of all-seasons, it's a hard pass by many. Everybody here thinks it's mandatory to have AWD. Funny, they think it's more important to have AWD than winter tires. Ridiculous.
When and where? I dunno if you posted the deets somewhere, I may have missed it.

It's been a while. 4th one I've spotted in the wild (after an LE, Cloudburst, and White). If you were in the Oakville/Mississauga area yesterday morning, then this is you .
