I purchased my GR Vitara in Nov 06 by July 07 the tire was worn dealer suggested need tire rotation. I paid $20 on 7/13/07 back at dealer in Jan 08 in ref to the tires wearing in back, dealer writes customer states rear passenger side tire worn abnormal, found vehicle tire may have has a lack of tire rotation and may need 4 wheel alignment. Replaced 4 tires in April 08 and paid out of pocket for a 4 wheel alignment , dealer replaced rear shocks (fluid leaking) stating that may have caused rear tires to wear May 08. Nov 08 rear tires worn replace new tire on front, front to rear by 5 months later tires are bald again. Plan on purchasing rear tires and pay out of pocket one more time for wheel alignment... Hope someone help us with this situation soon!!! i can't afford tires every 6 months they do not give you a chance to have them rotated....

I'm looking to lease a 2011 model IS 250 automatic w/ F Sport Package and Nav. The dealer told me I could get a better deal with the 2011 model rather than 2012 and there's not much of a styling difference between the two. Can you give me the Money Factor and Residual for this car? Thanks!

I dislike the absence of a center console. Sure, the car has no need of a transmission/driveshaft tunnel but the placement of a center console area is very good as a useful area for vehicle/interior controls. I see the storage bin just to the far right but there is a large space in front of it before the dash that seems to be saying: "Look at this car that has no transmission tunnel! LOOK at this statement we're making by having all this useless empty space! THINK of all the uses for it! Now gym bags, purses and single bags of groceries can have a home dangerously close to the foot pedals!" I kid. I like it. A good friend of mine got an early deposit on one of these.
