#9 of 14 IS 2007 Changes by netwon

Aug 28, 2006 (5:32 am)

Here are the 07 IS changes all listed in one place. (as listed on the Lexus Pressroom website) I've found it hard to find the mention of the VDIM/VSC disable on the lexus.com website but found it listed on the Lexus Pressroom room site: link Lexus 2007 IS Information Summary . It lists the following:
  
IS 250/ IS 350
The popular IS sport sedans also add a shark fin-style antenna and VDIM/VSC cut-off function as well as foglamp indicator, illuminated fuel opener and illuminated trunk opener to their list of standard features for 2007. In addition, the High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps with the Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS) will now be available as a standalone option. New for 2007 is the X Package option for the IS 350, IS 250 rear-wheel drive and IS 250 manual models. This package includes a sport-tuned suspension, alloy sport pedals, illuminated scuff plates, front lip spoiler and 18-inch five-spoke wheels.
  
Pricing for the 2007 IS line-up (with the exception of the IS 250 AWD which remains unchanged at $34,285) reflects an increase of $265, or less than one percent. MSRPs for the IS 250 manual and IS 250 rear-wheel drive are $30,255 and $31,425 respectively. Base pricing for the IS 350 is $35,705.
  
It lists everything but the new color Obsidian Black which is on Lexus.com

I am not sure about the HID's, but the Sharkfin allows you to hide your Satelite radio antenna in a nice OEM package that is popular on other high end imports. Also allows for metallic tint on the rear window.

#12 of 14 Is there a manual tranny option for the 07 (350) ? by ggesq

I looked on the Lexus site and it seems that manual tranny is not an option? Is this true?

No there is not. From the Lexus publications/press releases there probably won't be either.
