Lexus Raises Price of IS F

TORRANCE, California — The 2009 Lexus IS F is getting a slight bump in price, to $57,435. That's an increase of $610, or 1.1 percent, since the high-performance sedan was launched earlier this year.

For model year 2009, the IS F gets a handful of changes, including a revised instrument cluster, lighted mirror controls and, on vehicles equipped with a navigation system, a piano-black center cluster finish. Also new for '09 is a two-tone black-and-terra-cotta interior treatment.

The standard IS sedans receive a revised grille and bumpers, new wheels and a redesigned center cluster. Suspension and steering have been upgraded. Prices have risen $300 and start at $31,980 for the IS 250 with manual gearbox.

Prices include an $825 shipping charge.
