    They are very nice indeed, look best when in motion, IMO. Very much a baby GS, with some new BMW 3 Series thrown in (the rear end).

    The IS250 looks identical to the IS350, just the engine is different. Has similar figures to a 2.0T A4. The IS350 is kind of between a 3.2 A4 and an S4, power wise.

    Saw my first one a few weeks ago, at night. Windows all blacked out, it looked mean! I'll admit I was staring.

    yeah, they did a pretty nice job. just wish they'd released the 6-sp right away. and come on. . . beef up the AWD system so it can handle the bigger engines, Lexus!

    Yeah I'd like either a manual trans 350 RWD or AWD. Neither is offered.

    i was actually debating between the IS and the A4..
    i dont know.. its asian against german... i had to go german..
    all the cars i had before were japanese.. and i was tired of it.. they feel light..
    and the IS 350 is nice.. not the IS 250.. but both are waaayy overpriced..
    also.. i got my car two months ago.. i didnt feel like waiting.. i was kinda expecting to be overpriced.. is just too much technology..

    I went from an 01' IS300 to my 99.5 A4 and would go back to the new IS300 any day if they were more in my price range. I think Lexus did an amazing job designing the new IS!

    too bad they turned the IS in to a pig...Its heavier than the previous generation by like 250lbs IIRC. I like the old IS300 better.

    the old one sucked, but it was way better
    at least, unlike most acuras like the TSX, it has rwd
    but i test drove one and it was very dull and boring
    very comfortable and well equiped, but dull

    I'd hit it. As a matter of fact, my gf wants one...either tht or step up into a new A6...they deifnitely need to offer a stick in the IS350 though.

    They do look good moving, but the green console blows.
