Talking Im 1st Im 1st.......

Today my Lexus sales Rep called and told me that they have 1 new IS 350 and 2 IS250's. She asked me if I wanted a test drive?. What a question, I told her i'll be right there. The sales manager at Putnam Lexus of Redwood City told me that I was the 1st customer to test drive the IS 350. YYyyAAAAAAaaayyyyyyyy..... , anyways I compared the drive to my GS400 , It's ALOT FASTER because its lighter. and smaller. Its 2 totally different cars. So its really not fair to compare them. But I just did so there.. To end this thread I just want to say waasup to the people I met on the East Bay caravan to the End of Summer meet, MarkGs4, Teeman, Ken, Brad, and the rest of the East Bay guys.

Well the thread title is misleading, we were the first in ClubLexus & my.IS to drive them.

Guys, the OP probably meant he was the first one at that specific dealership to test drive one of their ISs. Sheesh.

I test drove a pre-production. Fact of the matter is, we drove them first production or not! perhaps it's time to close this thread.

Hehe that wont happen in the immediate future obviously. Give it 6months to a year...and you will see the prices drop like they did for the New GS.
