IS supreme fuel, camry regular fuel, big difference in price. if your wife does not care about "sh....ty" handling, then get the camry and save big bucks in gas. reliabilty is the same for both. find a good independent mechanic, stay away from dealers.

She's likes nav and all wheel. Leaning is route. Plus Camry makes me feel old.

Just for future reference, you can get all your service done at a Toyota dealership. They should charge less for labor and maybe parts, and your electronic service records are updated through them. Save yourself some money on the bigger maintenance items. Or you can take it to a reputable mechanic and just keep a paper copy of all your maintenance records when you want to sell of the IS.

IS250 has a bunch more nifty stuff, more comfortable, more power , AWD means typically replacing 4 tires at the same time as opposed to 2 if and when needed

IMO, have her drive both cars, its her car anyway THEN tell her whats the pros and cons between the two and weigh it out from there.
"Slightly better gas milage"? My '07 AWD gets about 20-21 mpg in mostly city driving. I 4-cylinder Camry would do better than that, I would think.
