Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:NASDAQ:HA) Q2 2022 Earnings Conference Call July 26, 2022 16:30 ET Company Participants Jay Schaefer - Vice President and Treasurer Peter Ingram - President.
This is the car many enthusiasts have been waiting for, although it s been rumored for months. And now it s finally here. Presenting the 2022 Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance, a V8-powered Japanese hot-rod sedan that also represents the naturally aspirated engine s final hurrah. In the very near future, this motor will no longer meet emissions requirements, but Lexus wanted to make sure it went out with a bang.
The 2022 Lexus IS 500 is a rear-wheel-drive compact sedan that, in base form, was refreshed for the current model year. Those upgrades inside and out carry over to the V8 model. As the latest member of the F Sport family, the IS 500 joins other NA V8-powered models such as the RC F coupe and the LC coupe and convertible. The engine was previously found in the now-discontinued GS F midsize sedan, and the IS 500 seeks to fill that void. The IS 500 also has the distinction of being the luxury brand s first model in the new F Sport Performance line.
