"F" Performance added to IS: new F Sport Package adds high performance style

Lexus enhances its popular entry luxury sport sedans - the Lexus IS 250 and Lexus IS 350 - with all-new special F Sport Packages exclusive to 2010 editions.

"Canadians wishing to add some of that IS F magic to their IS 250 and IS 350 can now drive off their Lexus Dealer lot with the newly added F-Sport Packages," said Larry Hutchinson, Director of Lexus in Canada. "With upgraded F-Sport wheels, suspension, seats, headlamps, pedals and more, these packages make the 2010 IS series the perfect luxury sedans to pursue more adrenaline-filled moments."

The 2010 Lexus IS 250 is available in four models: The IS 250 with six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission; the IS 250 all wheel drive with six speed automatic; and the IS 350 with six-speed automatic.

New for 2010, all IS series models feature new standard equipment, including:

-   Integrated XM Satellite Radio,
-   USB audio connectivity,
-   Windshield de-icer, which uses an element at the base of the windshield to help free frozen wiper blades and melt ice at a much faster rate than a typical defrost option.

The 2010 Lexus IS series is on sale at Lexus dealers across Canada today. The IS 250 carries a Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price starting at $34,150 for manual transmission models and $35,750 for automatic transmission models. The IS 250 AWD starts at a suggested $40,300, while the IS 350 starts at a suggested $45,650.
