I saw one of these in my parking lot today.... it was new and I double-checked to see if it had the manual tranny ;) It's about time they offered the manual for the IS, since I know for a fact that they lost many sales to BMW over the lack thereof. (Not me, but two friends of mine).

err I thought the 5spd models were introduced at the beginning of the model year? I remember seeing one at the LA auto show last year.

There wasn't a 5 speed before? that is totally stupid. but yeah, if there wasn't, 5 speed version is definitely WELCOME!

i work for lexus, the L-tuned 5-speed with the 19inch wheels is soo much fun to drive.

still not worth what you have to pay for it though (the L-tuned)
