Replying to: jeffman619 (Jun 19, 2008 8:20 am) Is this still the case? I was looking to get an IS soon - pref an IS 350 - and really would like to get a manual. You're saying that there are only really Automatics around?

"louiswei" is correct ... no manual for the 350 .... 250 only.   I seem to recall one writeup on the 350 where the writer claimed he could knock a second off 0-60 by manually shifting the "tiptronic" 350 (as opposed to letting the tranny shift itself). I don't know about that as i have never bothered to compare.   Its plenty fast as it is .... i do a lot of city driving and am happy to be clutchless.   KC

Replying to: louiswei (Oct 28, 2008 9:00 am) Thanks for getting back to me louiswei, and thanks for your feedback too kc567567. I'm not terribly familiar with the IS and have just started looking into it. Back in 2003, I bought a used Blue 2001IS 300 when I got my first job out of college and loved the car. But in early '04, someone rear ended me into the car in front of me and my car died on the spot. I just ended up buying an '04 Accord which has served me well, but I'd like to own an IS again. Let's see what I can find and for how much around the DC area. I definitely want to buy new. I'll look into specifics on how the IS 250 & 350 differ, but I'm leaning towards the IS350.

#6946 of 6956 So the refresh is here, when is the next redesign scheduled? by duke15 Nov 09, 2008 (1:37 pm)
I've been going nuts with the teases of an IS 250 coupe from various auto mags. Since it isn't here yet, and they just did a refresh for 2009, I'm thinking it isn't coming, or at most, will come with the next full redesign. Does anyone know when that is? Thanks Replies to this message: louiswei (Nov 10, 2008 9:35 am)

Replying to: duke15 (Nov 09, 2008 1:37 pm) The IS coupe is coming in early 2009. You can do a google search for either "IS250 Coupe" or "IS250C".
#6948 of 6956 IS convertible by loucopits Nov 10, 2008 (7:17 pm)
The newsletter from our local dealer also shows the IS convertible, featuring a retractable roof like the SC. It will arrive late spring 2009.
#6949 of 6956 New coupe / convertible by duke15 Dec 12, 2008 (8:23 am)
The Lexus site has pics of the new hardtop convertible, which is also a coupe. Don't know if it is the only version they will be offering. I have to admit that I though a coupe would be a lot cooler looking. The original 4-door looks better than the hardtop convertible coupe with the top up.

Replying to: duke15 (Dec 12, 2008 8:23 am) Hardtop convertible is the only 2-door version that will be offered. No coupe. Replies to this message: ajmtbm (Dec 12, 2008 11:52 am)

Replying to: louiswei (Dec 12, 2008 10:05 am) if the IS wil be a 2 door hardtop convertible, im guessing the SC is probably going to go bye bye?
