NOW THIS IS WHAT LEXUS SHOULD BE BUILDING

Here is a video preview of all the cars Lexus assembled for the big Sema Show in Vegas this week.....Sweet. I especially like the GS with the asymmetrical stripe. I always loved that racing look. I also think the pneumatic built in jacks would be great accessory for the driveway mechanic!!!! Check it out.... Say hi to Lee while your out there.....

Forget Wind in the Hair, This Will Set it On FIRE

For those of you who need to have alittle more get up and go in the morning, Lexus is now serving up a ISC-F... As you know, if the car is an F model it is going to be wicked.....

Last week, I blogged about Lexus’ new “F” car, the limited-edition IS350C F-Sport. While no photos of the car were available then, we were unable to show you an image of it. Now we have them, and here they are (photos of the car on other blog sites were of a different model). As for the car itself, here’s a recap: The car features a list of new items from the company’s F-Sports parts bin, including new 19-in. forged aluminum wheels shod with Michelin Pilot Sport 225/35ZR-19 tires in front and 255/35ZR=19 tires at rear, a new grille, new shocks co-developed with Bilstein and leather-wrapped shift knob with the F-Sport logo. Image to be released from Lexus later this week.

All models will have an individually-numbered badge on the center console. The IS 350C F-Sport Special Edition also comes with black leather-trimmed seats with sporty blue contrast stitching. Other Special Edition standard features include heated and ventilated front seats with wood trim; Bi-Xenon HID headlamps with Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS); headlamp washers; and Lexus Navigation. The car will hit Lexus dealerships later this month for $57,500.

Spring is Here...Don't You Need The Wind in Your Hair

This article offers a review of the Lexus IS250C with regards to design, features and performance specifically comparing it to other convertibles in its class.

Quotes from the story:

As a convertible, it has the best seating room among the lot.

At $36,750 [it] comes along with a Lexus Navigation Sat Nav. For such amount of money, it is really a great value considering the features that it comes along which are not included or even present in other convertibles.

IS250C scored five stars in crash
test.
It has a silky smooth performance and it will offer smoothest gear change you would have ever experienced.

Lexus IS250C has quality, innovation, offers you prestige and high technology. $36,750 may look like a lot of money to you, but the features included cannot be seen in the BMW even if you spend $40,000. For such a beauty, it is worth paying that money.
