I highly agree with the above statement. I absolutely love my IS350. It was between the IS and an 07' 335i sedan. Having had both Japanese and German cars I can attest to reliability issues with the latter. I've never admired any other car I ever had like the IS. I truly enjoy every ride I take in it, wether im out cruising running errands or driving for pleasure...either way it always puts a smile on my face. I have found my niche in Lexus, I KNOW what my next ride will be, however long that may take, will be the next step...an IS-F. And I look forward to the wait!

Ha ha...good choices. GT-R is one hellauva beast. But because I have a kiddo, 4 doors is nice. And for some reason sport sedans have really caught my attention, nothin like a 4 door "family" car that can throttle sports cars when provoked... i.e. CTS-V, M5, IS-F

Ya, Yamaha helped tune the engine. The platform is from the GS, not from a corolla or camery like some people think. It really is a great car, Toyota/Lexus really did their homework on the IS

There really isn't much out there in terms of aftermarket performance for the IS350, I too prefer NA cars, have had turbos and supercharged vehicles....all were expensive to replace and or maintain. These cars from what I've researched are pretty bulletproof, even when driven hard. Can't put a price on peace of mind.
