Default Damn! 3IS's all over the place

I live in Dallas and I see a fair amount of 3IS's. However, I just returned from vacation in Miami and it seemed like there was one at every stoplight. Most were F-Sports (prolly 250's). Anyway, the 3IS has really found an audience in South Florida. Lexus of Kendall and Pembroke Pines must be hustling to keep up with demand!

I've seen one other one around here. I know they're out there, but not very many apparently in the circles that I travel.
No one where I work has one.

They are still, thankfully, a pretty rare sighting around Seattle. To the point that I'm caught off guard when I see another one.

The 2IS, however, is everywhere, so I know it's just a matter of time before the 3IS will be as well.

This is good news since it means a lot of enthusiasts are switching over to the Lexus brand (particularly for F-Sport).

There are two other ultra while 250 F-Sports in the business park at work. To be fair, they were already there when I got mine and the one with UW/Rioja Red is what helped me make my decision. The one that is white with black interior has a front plate, which looks really awkward.

Very rare here in Utah. Probably because everyone just wants an F-350 rather than an IS 350.
