Some more pictures of the IS250 facelift, this time on the official Lexus Korea web site: http://www.lexus.co.kr/popup/20080822/lexus_new_IS250.html

For some nice photos of the face lifted car taken in a Japanese Lexus showroom including close up view of the new mirror with integrated indicators check this out: http://my.is/forums/5523080-post2.html or http://my.is/forums/f41/first-photos-2009-...acelift-369512/

Many thanks again, ilv1004s

Hi ilv1004s

Many thanks for the translation offer. Does the Korean text mention anything about changes under the skin, eg improvements to suspension, sound proofing or fuel economy?

Best regards

Roger

I'm told the text in the scans is Japanese but the web page is Korean and so there should be no need for anyone to be offended I hope!

For some attempts at the translation and further comments please see: http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/ind...showtopic=52566 and http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...mp;#entry325378

I think some of the things the text mentions are:

1. New bumper with different lower air entrances and modified fog lamps
   
2. New 17 and 18 inch wheel designs
   
3. New three dimensional rear lamps, not LED
   
4. Newly positioned rim wheels for ventilation nozzles (in the middle of the pair of centre vents rather than at their outer edges).
   
5. Back of front seats and doors always in black even with light colour interior. Ivory beige replaced by a darker colour.
   
6. Changes to the way gears can be selected in sequential auto mode. Maybe like the new Acura TSX or Euro Accord?
   
7. Nav OK to use while driving
   
8. Prices raised
   
9. Measures to reduce transmission noise
   

I'm wondering if the text mentions anything about changes under the skin, eg improvements to suspension, sound proofing or fuel economy? Does anyone have a Japanese speaking friend who could help out?

Hi all

Can anyone translate the Japanese text on this page: http://dajapa.tistory.com/333 Unfortunately I've not been able to copy the text so I haven't been able to try pasting it into an online translator.

The pictures show the new Lexus IS door mirrors with integrated indicators, changed rear light clusters and various interior modifications including a new steering wheel, gear stick and rear head rest. However, I'm wondering if the text says anything about any changes under the skin, eg improved sound proofing, suspension or fuel economy.

The date on the page is 28 July 2008

Best regards

Roger
