cool. is it like the IS 500 (wich maybe now F) do you know? Craig Not sure, but I suspect it will be the 4.6l V8 from the new LS460. That is only a guess though and I have read rumours of it being a 5 litre.

Sales are expected to start in the UK in 2008. In addition to the IS-F, Lexus will unveil an exotic sports concept. The press conference will be held on Monday, January 8 at 11:25 a.m. EST in the Riverview Ballroom in COBO Centre.

I got this Monster iPod car charger which is low profile and allows the armrest to close - http://www.podzone.co.uk/ipod-car-accessor...-chargerforipod - managed to get it on ebay for £15.

I have this fitted to my car, looks the part against the Ipod too! Splitter Linky Hope that helps. :D Sorry deejaygee, I meant for the DC Aux supply... my fault for not making myself clear. I think I may have found one now, we'll find out when it's delivered. Stupid of Lexus to position the socket too close to the armrest really. Both my phone charger lead and Ipod power lead foul the armrest.

its winter time and that engine has 177hp. It can not spend less fuel than 130hp Audi or 120hp BMW. UPDATE - my first tank averaged 36.4mpg on the trip computer, but I calculated at 37.6mpg. My current tank is averaging 38.5mpg on the trip, so definately improving.

Could you please tell me where you got the figures from? Lexus UK never seem to make them public (probably because they are usually so small). Anyway the increase looks good; on the other hand I do not want them to become as common as BMWs :P I don't know where autobeach (sorry, previously credited petrol_head) got them from, but they're available here: http://lib.smmt.co.uk/articles/news/News/ACF24CA.zip

I successfully transferred all of my contacts in one go - using a Nokia N70 - only thing I had to do was take the spaces out of all the phone numbers, otherwise it seemed to truncate them.

And I'm getting around 35, although have only done 200 miles, but it doesn't sound promising.

UK IS sales were 608 in January 2006 compared with 232 for January 2005. Out of interest, what MPG have other 220d drivers been getting?
