Here's a progressive list of pictures. '08 IS350 F-sport. I loved it for the month I had it! I just bought another one in Starfire Pearl. In the week I've had it it has all th f-sport suspension, intake and exhaust. 2014 F-sport wheels installed wit the GFX front and rear on the way!

Despite wanting an IS since high school, I purchased a new 2013 Nissan Altima SV in 2012 (big regret). I had an overall horrible experience with this vehicle. Poorly made, occasional high pitched noises, horrible service, etc. After 10 months, I traded it in for my IS250 now. I am in love - Lexus is the only way to go.
Only thing I miss is the 38 MPG.

I've owned mostly Japs in the past, with one euro car and a couple domestic cars.
But in the most recent while I went from a modded 2005 Legacy GT, to a 2000 Honda Civic SE and a 2000 Honda S2000 (bought both on the same day, literally, from different people lol). Then I sold the s2000, shortly after the civic, and bought my IS250. Meanwhile this whole time also ownding a 1968 Firebird.
Here's an illustration of my s2000 a friend of mine did:
Another more recent s2000 I've owned (the first one I sold to buy the Firebird)
The firebird (still have this)
And the Legacy just before I sold it (yes that is satin silver paint, not a wrap)
One more for good measure, my old Jetta VR6

2003 Chrysler 300M Special. Started having issues with it 4k miles in with a transmission replacement. About every two months it needs something fixed on it. Has 77k miles on it and replaced it with a '06 IS350 with 87k miles on it. Will likely be much, much more reliable and fun to drive. Funny thing is when we were looking for this car back in 2003 we shopped it against the IS300. With a newborn kid at the time, the 300 won out due to having more room for a kid seat. I still may end up with my IS300 someday though....
