Default Lexus cars

Well it's been about a month since I bought my 2010 IS350. Still have not even seen it yet as I'm working up in North Dakota. My wife says it's a blast to drive and she keep reminding me just to bug me.

Before I purchased the IS350 I was looking into an LS460. I think for me it would make for a better family vehicle. I've been thinking about future cars I'd like to have and I think keeping an IS around would make for a good stable mate. But the IS-F would be a little more fun as a weekend car over the LS460. Hard decision as I already have one weekend vehicle. We'll see what happens as my career has been unstable but lately I've been receiving good job offers with high paying positions.

The IS and ISF have small amounts of leg room and baby seat room. Just a thought.

Agreed it sucks when you have to go somewhere with people in the back.

Wish my wife would take a normal car like the ES or GS. She likes SUV's and the visibility of being higher up.

Needed family car ES350 until we can get RC350 for her. I still have IS350 and no point of having two IS.

The IS350 is an amazing car. I've had mine for about a week and it continues to scare the crap out of me when I step on the pedal...

It sucks for the people in the back but not for you.

Wish I had the same excitement with cars. Cars are all slow. My last sportbike ensured that speed in a four wheel vehicle would never be the same. Would still be riding if a car didn't run me off the road into boulders. 15 broken bones and a plate and 7 screws in my left wrist has put a damper on things. The bike was much worse off than me as nothing was salvageable. Rear swing arm was mangled, frame cracked and twisted, no plastics left in tact.

My weekend car is a 300ZX twin turbo with 400hp. I picked th IS350 because I want a reliable fun car to drive. It doesn't hurt that the luxury box is also checked off my list.

Ouch, my spine hurts just reading about the accident. Bad drivers are everywhere, and it's amazing you survived. Also, that's a sweet weekend car you have in your hands...
As for the IS350, I can honestly say that it has the best of all worlds with a few exceptions.

Love the sound when I hit 4500 RPM with my Afe stage 2 intake and Tanabe Exhaust
