I'm so happy! During today's afternoon commute down I-5, I saw:

1. IS250 Fsport silver/black w Lexus of Carlsbad paper license

2. IS250 non-Fsport nebula/brown w Lexus of San Diego paper license

These are the first 3IS cars I've ever seen on the road and it all happened within 5 minutes of each other!

I haven't seen one on the roads here in MN. I must be the only one who purchased in MN!

Where in MN are you ? Currently in ARden hills

What brings you to Arden Hills? I'm further west but I work near Arden Hills.

Last week I saw my first on the road too; Nebula / Black 250 Luxury, and I wasn't happy with the way it looked, even though I've seen tens of dozens at dealers... :|

actually not Arden Hills, I'm in St. Paul. Here for work.
Not so familiar with MN.

This damn weather right now is not so pretty.

LOL. Wait until winter starts. You may not see the sun for few months!

Yeah now that Lexus is advertising the 349$ per month lease they are popping up a lot more.

That's what everyone is telling me to wait till winter. Man! can't imagine driving my car over here.
It seems the Roads are not very friendly to lowered cars.

You might be plowing snow in the winter if it's too low.

LOL. that's what everyone is telling me. So is your 3IS on it's way?

SonyHome

Yeah, they tell me 2-3 months but I've seen posts where some guys waited 5 months! Wait is going to be brutal since I already sold my current car. Didn't think I would sell it this fast.

Finally, I spotted a couple of IS350 F-Sport in San Jose. However, I notice that this car is kinda small. Do you guys think so?

John510

Small? As compared to what ? An E Class? Then yes its small. If your comparing to a 2IS then no its bigger.

There are times when I'm shocked at how small the car is. Usually looking at it from the back... it can look very narrow and small sometimes. There are other times it looks like a much larger car, usually from the back quarter-panel view.

I had the same feeling about the 2IS, sometimes it seemed a little small. I don't remember ever thinking it was large. As John says, the third generation is larger than the second generation. I hope they stop growing, though. The BMW 3 is now as large as the old BMW 5. These companies need to stop growing all of their cars each year.
