Just replaced my 2006 SC430 with the IS350. Just wasn't getting enough use out of the SC. Only 3,000 miles in more than 6 months. The usable backseat means the IS350 will see more duty.

NO REGRETS!!! Although I miss the great MPG's... And the BIG LIP rims!

Pics of my ex-ride:

I almost bought the C230 Benz (was also checking out the BMW 330), salesman gave me a good offer on a dolphin grey one. As you see I had second thoughts, good thing I did, because I'm sure I would be hating life or not having as much fun in the C230. They look and drive good, but...and I'm Lovin the IS350!
