Congrats on the new IS-F , & black is a very good color for the IS-F too

 

oh so Lexus of Stevens Creek is owned by Penske?...I assume that Longo Lexus is the largest So Cal dealer, but I may be wrong... Maybe the Toyota side is messing me perspective here... oh...btw...you know the total OTD price was for the car?...thanks!

 

it is, its the flash on the camera makes it look all blue and hideous. but in reality its complete black leather, same as my IS350.

 

whoa....congrats on IS-F !!

 

Just wanted to add my congratulation to your (uh..your dad's new car)! I hope the people in my area past up the Black/Black, because that's my top pick. Do you know how many people past up on the car till they got to you? I'm assuming they go down the list and see if people want the car still and the color they have on stock. The waiting is agonizing.

Regardless, enjoy the car and don't forget to take plenty of pics for us and your opinion on the car ride and build.

 

Longo is owned by Penske. Stevens Creek is in NoCal. Tustin and Newport are the run by one owner.

 

day pics of the seats please.

 

wow congrats~
I just moved up here to NorCal from Socal 2 weeks ago..
I hope I'm lucky to see you around~!

 

A while back, didnt Lexus of Westminster marked up the latest LS if Im not mistaken?

 

Both the black and white/black leather are semi analine. I saw the sample leather patches at my dealer's marketing manuals. The smooth surface that we sit on is dyed black but the back side is dyed blue. Therefore the vented holes on the black leather will show hints of blue. You need to see it very close up.

Another note the white/black leather option is a softer leather. On the manual is states White/Black as Semi-Analine (Soft) and the Black was stated Semi-Analine. I felt both samples and the white was softer to the touch when I tried to fold it.

Chu...

 

yeah longo is the biggest in the state...i think. and Stevens Creek Lexus is biggest in NorCal. Both are owned by Penske.

 

Thanks for the updated pics. Looking forward to some daytime shots.

 

problem with the white leather is its going to get dirt real quick, texas region is only doing special order for the white leather

 

we want day pics!

congrats to your dad on being quite possibly the first IS-F owner in the US.

or at least here in clublexus.

 

Congratulations to your father on the IS-F.

But I'm not sure how much of your information is correct.

First of all, "others will go on sale in a week or so" is just plain wrong. The General Manager at my local dealership called me last night and told me their first IS-F just arrived and it's in their showroom, available for sale.

I asked him how much and he said the sticker is about $61,000 (plus tax, prep, etc.) and there would not be any markup on it. He said it's first come first served but he personally only called me. I expect to go see it later today.

I don't however, expect to buy it. I'm leaning towards a Z06 instead. I like the Lexus a lot (I have a GS300 and an IS300) but I'm just not as excited about this car as I hoped I'd be. It's a great car and all but it's hard to be thrilled about it.

In this approximate price range I'd much rather have a Z06, a new M3 or a GT-R (not necessarily in that order). The IS-F is a great car no doubt and a well executed performance car by the L-team but it's missing something for me.
