Default Pics of my 2008 IS F

This shoot was for TopGear Magazine Philippines. Shot on a very bright day in late November. The car will come out in a feature article in the January 2011 issue. A sneak peek of the issue can be viewed on www.topgear.com.ph

Love the wheels! Do you not have bluetooth? Your right hand steering wheel button layout looks different.

Wow, some guys have Bluetooth? None on mine. The car came in thru an importer who brings them in from the states. The guy that owned it before me (I got it in March '10 with 1700 miles) didn't even have a color choice. Just one car at the time. Take it or leave it.

It's been really great to own and drive. Trouble free so far (7900 miles) and many great driving moments (1st place in a class c division race at a local circuit and 14.4s 60-130mph on a VBox run). Glad you like the wheels!

It appears to be a no options model as it doesn't seem to have sunroof or navi.

Non the less congrats on the feature.

^^^ I thought Bluetooth was standard on the F??? Mine has it, and the 3 others I have test driven (an '08 in '08 and a '10 and '11 this year) all had it.

Anyway, the car looks immaculate!! Congrats!

EDIT: Wow, I did not notice it did not have Nav either. Weird!

Thanks WReuroR and melbitoast. No nav but it does have a sunroof and ML though. The car goes to the cleaners at least 3x a week and gets waxed quite often. I'll drop by Lexus Manila this week to ask about Bluetooth retrofitting.

^^^ My thoughts exactly...I would love to get rid of the sun roof weight. Its the worst possible place to have the extra weight too.
