I am saying the first gen-IS'. Not because I own one. But I often sit outside and stare at my car and enjoy the uniqueness of it's look. I love the look and how it drives. It's a great car!!!

Nothing... yet!! I'm still in the early stage of, "I just love my car!!" I plan on changing the exhaust and putting a nice set of 18's on her in the Spring. So many things to choose from. And maybe giving her a few extra horses to cruise down the highway...We'll see.

1st gen style wise, interior or exterior . . . the chronograph gauges are classic! Has better exterior dimensions . . . i can still squeeze thru traffic with this gem.
power wise, got to compare manual IS300 to manual IS250. . . 1st gen has more power and weighs 200lbs lighter than 2nd gen. which would u get?
exactly.

gotta say 1IS ... I was coming down from school today and I was driving beside a 2IS.
1 - what is with those mirrors? Hello some misc truck.
2 - when I came up behind the 2IS I thought it was a Camry ... not that I think it's an ugly design ... but how about not making the IS and the Camry looks very similar
3a - 1IS looks original, 2IS: not so much
3b - 1IS looks sportier and more agile, 2IS looks just all around bigger and therefore less sporty

I think both are great cars... but the original IS300 was more unique. For the stage I'm at right now I prefer the original IS300 because it has a very aggressive and sporty look to it. The new IS is much more luxurious than the original IS300 and fits better into the general Lexus image. BUT... I still prefer the "more raw" experience of the original IS300.

I found this interesting.
I for the longest time wanted a first gen IS.. but once I saw them side by side and drove the IS350 I was sold on the 2nd gen. Hey, I agree we need smaller side mirrors but we more than make up for that with the power.
