If You Are In The Market For A New IS Go No Further - Here Is The Official List of Revisions
In the market for a new Lexus IS250 or 350 but not sure if that face lift is enough to warrant a new 2009 model over a 2008? 

My good friend  Deepflanger has passed us the actual dealer information outlining all of the subtle changes and the not so subtle changes that make the 2009 what it is. This includes colors, wheel option and a slew of ther subtle nuances.

If you are considering a 2009 IS this is the documentation you will need to make that informed choice.

Might have been nice if "headroom" was added as an option for the 2009 model year.

You do know of course that this is not a document for the US Market. The colors are all wrong...

Go to a Lexus dealer and I gaurantee 90% of the salesmen there don't even know the IS250 is available w/ a manual.

And probably 50% of those same salesmen couldn't drive a stick if they had to.

Er, close....AWD is not an option for the LS600hL, it's standard.

And of course the salespeople won't know they have AWD or manual transmissions available. It's been documented that Lexus dealerships and the sales experience overall is the worst in the industry.....oh, wait....nevermind....
