I put a deposit on the RX330 and a IS350 today. Not the red one, he said they have two IS350s coming in, blue onyx and tungsten pearl (the two colors I wanted) - black interior. He was going to find out if they were equipped the way I wanted (nav, lux package, mark levinson). He will know tomorrow and let me know, if they are, then the deal will be done and he said they should be here mid- jan. 
2k off sticker of the IS and 39,500 for the RX330.

Although, I did like the red, it looked nice on the car.
What options are included above the Lexus options? I just built my own IS350 on the Lexus website using the most expensive option and the price is $40,934Base MSRP* $35,440.00
Available Package $4,904.00
Accessory Options $0.00
Preferred Accessory Package (includes Cargo net, Trunk mat and Wheel locks) Included
Delivery, Processing & Handling Fee † $590.00
Total MSRP** $40,934.00
APPLICABLE FEDERAL TAXES NOT INCLUDED.

Options vary by region. Use zip code 48167. For example... the Mark Levinson audio system is only available in certain regions. In addition to the options listed below, my sales guy faxed me the print out and it includes a spoiler and all season mats. They were not part of the price I agreed on; however, he said it won't matter, he won't charge me more for them. Roughly $400-500 extra for the spoiler and mats.
This is what my IS350 comes with:
Luxury Package with 18-in wheels with Additional Options $8,899.00
Luxury Package with 18-in wheels includes Auburn bird's-eye maple interior trim, Perforated leather-trimmed interior, Power tilt-and-telescopic steering column, Lexus Memory System for power driver's seat (except lumbar) outside mirrors and steering wheel, Heated and ventilated front seats, Illuminated doorsill scuff plates, Power rear-window sunshade, Rain-sensing intermittent windshield wipers with mist cycle, Electrochromic (auto-dimming) outside mirrors with auto tilt-down in reverse, Bi-xenon High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps, Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS), and 18-in alloy wheels.
Additional Options:
- Navigation System/Mark Levinson® Premium Audio System Package
- Intuitive Parking Assist
- Preferred Accessory Package (includes Cargo net, Trunk mat and Wheel locks)

The lexus options are expensive, but worth it -IMO. The car will retain its value better and be more fun during your ownership, besides a lot of the options are pretty cool.
I haven't drove a IS350 yet, just the IS250 - what do you think about the paddle shift transmission? is it as useless as other manu-matic style transmissions or more like SMG from BMW or DSG from VW?

the IS350 is too hot now that everyone wants it, so i would want to wait it cools down a bit and a 6spd manual (hopefully)
everyone here in canada is getting the IS250 AWD, but kinda pricy in my opinion, but it is a good choice over the Audi A4 2.0T
