Lexus announced the pricing for the redesigned 2014 Lexus IS sports luxury sedan line.  The good news is that the IS 350 models get a 2.1% (or $885) dollar reduction in starting price.  Not many redesigned new vehicles in the luxury segment can claim a price drop.

On the flip side, the IS 250 models get a price hike of – interestingly also $885. There’s also a new F-Sport that gets  LED headlamps,  unique bumpers and F-Sport grille and 18-inch wheels.

In the end, it will be even more difficult to choose between the more efficient 204 horsepower IS 250 and the quicker 306 horse IS 350.  The two model ranges are now just $3,500 apart.
