Well, I first would not consider any Chrysler or Government Motor car to begin with. But if I did (which I won't), it'd have to be a heavily subsidized lease. The resale value of these are atrocious.
No matter how gussied up they present it with options, this is.... at the end of the day... a Rental Car.
If just need practical non-lux transportation there are many better options out there.

I have paid for an IS350 , but it was delayed in the port for a month . Anyway he said since it is delayed if you want your money back no problem , so I looked for other cars such as the chrysler lux edition and I test drove the car and I was surprised that it was comfortable even with 20" wheels . Anyway I didn't test drive the IS350 because they have short supplies and I should test drive it by next week , so if any one test drove these cars which one is a better daily driver ?
Test drive result : ( chrysler )
Pros:
1- The suspension is good not too stiff or soft .
2- The V8 can speak to you .
3- The seats are comfortable , not as the IS350's seats , but still good .
4- It is loaded with features .
Cons :
1- The backup camera has weird dimensions .
2- I felt that the cabin insulation is not that good , but maybe because I was going 100 mph most of the time
.
3- The car looks conservative ( for 40 year olds ) and I'm in my 20s .

Ummm, you seriously need to expand your research if you've limited down to a Chrysler 300 and a IS350.
There are like a dozen cars off the top of my head that I would test drive before a Chrysler 300...
Here's a few---Volvo S60 AWD, Hyundai Genesis sedan, Lincoln MKZ, Cadillac ATS/XTS, Acura TL,..

I don't really go out to buy fast food drinks at all anymore so it'd mostly be used for water bottles but I can definitely see how their positioning may be problematic with how they're aligned with the center armrest.
Glad to see you liked the IS350.

The genesis R-spec is worth the money. 430hp premium sedan for under 45k. a little bit of a boat but worth a look

45K for a Hyundai? Seems way overpriced. But then again when I think of the brand Hyundai I think of one of the cheapest made car brands.

The Chrysler and Lexus are quite comparable from a cost perspective as it's been pointed out. Not sure why this is so hard to figure out. Sure, they are in different tiers when it comes to luxury but they can easily overlap in how they appeal to potential buyers.
