An important clarification about the Lexus IS250 Manual Transmission
It's interesting how different perspective can be sitting in front of a computer screen peacefully reading news releases and posts versus being live in the middle of the bustle and action at New York's Javits Center for the debut of the new Lexus IS350. A number of you have been discussing this passage of the official Press Release: "Standard in the IS 250, a new 6-speed sequential manual transmission is designed to take full advantage of its free-revving V6 engine."
Frankly, we didn't recall hearing that during Mark Templin's presentation, and we also missed it while posting the Press Release for our Front/Home Page. However, it was brought to our attention by WebguyIS in a comment responding to that thread.
Knowing how many manual-transmission diehards there are in our community, alarm bells naturally started going off. Fortunately, Brad Nelson of Lexus Public Relations has sent us this clarification:
"I'm afraid that in the process of editing our press release, somehow the word "sequential" was incorrectly placed in front of "manual transmission." You can be sure that it is a conventional h-pattern manual transmission with a foot-operated clutch. Thanks for pointing this out."
And, with that, we can all breathe a huge sigh of relief!
TAKA E!
