Whay to go Lexus on a huge step in the correct direction. BMW is looking behind them now! In fact, I read an article that had a great quote: "In the fight between Lexus and BMW, Lexus is not bringing a knife to a gunfight any longer!"

Hopefully the last time fixed her for good and she will give her new owner years of driving pleasure. But for me, I had to move on. In addition to rock-solid reliability, my next car needed to be fun and something special to help me get over the loss. I think the IS350 is the perfect cure. 
But now the waiting is killing me. I am told there is a 90-120 day wait for one with the Levinson audio because it is a special order. I'm hoping they are just telling me that so I will be pleasantly surprised when it gets here much sooner! Anyone else order one with ML audio? If so, how long was your wait?

Not at all, it used to rattle, and was soooo slow.. horrible stereo,
and was in the shop a bunch of times for electrical problems.
The only nice things about it , were the nice road feel and the
exhuast note...and oh yeah it looked real nice with the top down

Replacement
Ordered IS350/Chrystal White/Blk/Luxury/ML/18" wheels to replace our 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser as my commuter car. We're keeping the "tank" for hauling, family trips, etc. as its truly a beast and will last "forever" but I longed for better mileage and smoother ride for my 80mi/day commute.

Ah, no. He's talking about the CAYMAN, not the CAYENNE. The Cayman currently comes in one format, the S version, and has 294hp.
It also bares little resemblance to the road feces which is the Cayenne.

1994 Black Acura Integra LS, 120,000 miles
No mechanical problems that weren't accident induced
but the weatherstripping around the hatch leaked and it took several debates with my mechanic, who thought it was the tailights, before it got fixed. As a result, it flooded several times and now has a nice green covering of mold over the upholstery over the backs of the back seats.
I'm quite ready to part with the "fishtank."
