For model year 2009, the IS F gets a handful of changes, including a revised instrument cluster, lighted mirror controls and, on vehicles equipped with a navigation system, a piano-black center cluster finish. Also new for '09 is a two-tone black-and-terra-cotta interior treatment.
The standard IS sedans receive a revised grille and bumpers, new wheels and a redesigned center cluster. Suspension and steering have been upgraded. Prices have risen $300 and start at $31,980 for the IS 250 with manual gearbox.
Prices include an $825 shipping charge.
What this means to you: Next to the Nissan GT-R, the Lexus IS F looks like a bargain. Sort of. — Paul Lienert, Correspondent
