Default IS-F at the "Super Luxury Car Show" ...2010 model?

In continuation of the "dealer 2010 IS-F shots" thread, here's an IS-F displayed by the dealer at a show where the they're claiming it's a 2010 model but probably isn't.

2008/9 wheels (Canadian)


No Terra-Cotta shift ****


Rear headrests don't look any different


Window sheet (note prices in CAD)


There's an infosheet on the metal stand next to the car as well that also said it's a 2010, but I didn't take a picture of that.

I'll post some pics of the exotic cars there as well if anybody's interested.

This could very well be a 2010 model. From everything I see on the lexus Canadian web site, the wheels on the new model will remain the same as the '09 model.

The only real way to tell is to check out the NAV and look at the production date on the vin plate.

^^ At this point... I figured the headrests would be the 2009 give away....

You can tell in the pic that they don't tilt..

Also, for 2010... the Terra Cotta interior will come with a matching Terra Cotta Leather Shift ****...
(per new production specs)

Alright it's an '09. I suspected as much with the headrests. But anyways, still, that IS-F was amongst some good company at the show. So now I can say my car is a Supercar! Examples:







Shall I post more pics?

One poster on a local car forum was sarcastic about the presence of the IS-F... I'd say since the following cars are also there, it would be a travesty if the IS-F wasn't shown. So yeah, IT definitely BELONGS!
Audi S4
Audi S5
BMW M3
Merc C63
Smart Brabus (wtf)
BMW X5 (non-M)
BMW M-roadster
Merc E coupe, sedan, non-AMG
Merc S400 Hybrid

Nice pics, that enzo and maserati is from my city here in Calgary. ZR auto is well known for their ferraris and other exotics There was a survey of most ferrari owners are from Calgary, AB for all of Canada.

^^ hey fellow Calgarian IS-F owner!

Those pics are pretty awesome, I wish I could have gone to that show in person. I've seen that Enzo fly past me on a deserted secondary highway on the outskirts of Calgary a year back, it's pretty amazing to see in action.

Here's a youtube video of the maserati MC12 in action at the Race track here in Calgary with some other Exotics from ZR auto.

Most normal ppl who own these cars don't even track but ZR auto tracks them how those exotics are purposed for
