One More Week For My 3IS
New member here. IS350s are so hard to find in Arizona. When I went to Bell Lexus 2 weeks ago they didn't even have any 2015s for me to test drive. Drove a '14 and was sold. After looking at the multiple 250s they had on the lot I decided on Atomic Silver on Black. Fortunately they had a loaded IS350 F-Sport in that combination due to arrive Friday December 19th. Now it's delayed at the port for some reason but they assured me it will arrive Monday the 29th so I will be picking it up on the 30th.
Can't wait!

I'm definitely ready for it. I'm pretty bored with my 2009 FX35. It was nice when my daughter was a baby but now I want something lower and sportier.

I really like my FX35 but it's 500 pounds heavier and much taller than the IS. Can't fight physics.
Plus, the 3IS interior is amazing. As soon as I sat in one I knew I had to have one.

The G35/37s were great cars but the Q50 is not the same. Too bloated - it feels like a boat. Also the touchscreen infotainment system sucks - it's slow, takes forever to boot up (is this 1998?), and the screens quickly develops dead spots.
The FX35 is another matter. My wife has a 2015 RX350. It's very nice but my FX is light years ahead in the fun to drive meter. The RX rides better and has more room but it feels ponderous compared to the FX.
