I love it too... but the question is:
Do you get the IS250 with the 6speed? or Do you get the IS350 with 306hp? its a shame you cant have both... or better yet, the IS350 with the 6speed and the AWD!! -------------------- Its Orville's Celica, i just drive it... |

Well, I'll be the first on here to say that I don't like it. I absolutely LOVED the last body style though. The new one looks like every other luxury sedan out there right now. The looks of the last one made it stand out (in a good, rebel kind of way) in a crowd of dull, generic, luxury sedans that were in it's class. Though still technically a luxury sedan, the old IS300 definately had sports car written all over.
Just my humble opinion... -JBR |

when i frist saw pic of it on the website i was like Eeehhhh ... not much to it.. i like the look of the TL better.... but when i was the new IS in person .. i was like damn.. now that is one sexy ass car... true the 1st gen IS looks more sporty ... but you still can't say the new IS is not a sexy car...
1st gen IS = Hot girl on the soccer team ..looks good sweaty running back and forth you just want to get in there and play with her 2nd gen IS = Your prom date... hair all nice and done .. the right make up on.. you just want to see what inside that dress .... -------------------- |

the new IS is hot. pedal shifter and powerful engine. 18" rims. it's just sex. but for all that, there's a price to pay.

Looks a bit like the new Solaras, which isn't a terrible thing, but I liked the old IS's better.

I really didn't like the old IS styling. It didn't give off that luxury vibe that I love from Lexus.
