I think the Sport Escaine (Similar to Alcantara) wil be heated with memory (But not cooled.)
I am looking at a 220d and I think the one thing that was making me move towards the Sport was the 18 in Rims which look great in all the publicity photos but I guess they are combined with the lower sports suspension.
I would be interested in a photo of the SE / SE-L on 18 in wheels if anyone has got one. I guess the 18 in wheels would also impact on ride quality.

Actually, this has made me think.
Got a call for the dealer this morning as I had registered my interest in the 220D before Christmas and they rang to offer me a test drive. I have booked to have the car for a day a week on Monday. In the meantime I asked for finance quotes but the sales chap seems reluctant to do this before I drive the car which I found a bit strange as I would of thought he would want to establish whether I was a serious buyer by getting some feedback from me on pricing before such a generous loan of the vehicle.
Either I look more affluent than I think or he wants me to be sold on the car/Lexus experience before he puts prices in front of me as he knows they are a bit costly.
PS sorry to Hijack the thread.

I am looking to change my 3.2TT for an IS220d Sport with MMI.
I get a car allowance and do approx 20K PA. I've asked around about PCP and Personal contract hire but the finance providers I have talked to have not been confident that they can get a leasing price close to what they could achieve for an equivalent priced A4 or 3 series. I am waiting for quotes but the Lexus appears to be in the 5 series/A6/E class bracket when costing out which is very disappointing.
On the lexus website with a 2K deposit I could get a PCP for £605PM but this excludes maintenance.
My car allownace is £6K pa which nets down to approx £300 per month and I reckon it would cost me approx £250 in tax = £550 so it looks like I might be opting back in at this rate which I really did not want to do.

Concerned about delivery.
It would be interesting to see what prices could be achieved on the ex-demo models starting to appear on www.Autotrader.co.uk
I know Honda Dealers are allowed to sell demos on after three months so if this is industry standard I would imagine there will be some more starting to appear very soon.
