If we apply the same formula to the IS then I think a mid $50k starting price point isn't to farfetch, but we'll know for sure in a few months.
Zero options IS350 is $45k. Add in navigation/Audio package (at minimum) and you're at $48k. There's no way an IS500 is going to be only a few grand more. There's got to be a $8-10k premium over the IS350. Especially if they make the IS500 come loaded as standard with no options, it's going to be over $60k for sure!

Not to mention the RC-F starts (no options) at $65k. The IS500 isn't going to be too much less than that car...maybe starting at $59 and topping out at close to $70? I could see it.
