Default Second Favorite Lexus?

Let's assume that the Lexus you own is your favorite model.
So what would be your second favorite Lexus model?
Name the model you have and what your 2nd favorite would be.

I have his and hers 3GS. I like them but Lexus doesn't currently produce a second favorite for me. My second favorite would be the old SC300/400. I love coupes. Long hooded, sleek coupes with lot's of driver leg room (don't care about the back seat). The SC300/400 had 2 problems for me...weak stereo systems and underpowered engines. Other than those 2 issues I consider them perfect for me. I regret everyday that I sold mine.
If I had to choose a current model for second favorite, it would be the ISF because the SC430 is a convertable and not a fixed roof coupe.

If Lexus produced a GS-coupe, I would fly to Japan and kiss Mr. Toyoda's feet. That would be nirvana for me.

Great thread and I totally agree with you about coupes.
2nd fave is the IS-F and I begin liking it even more when I see all the one's with tasteful mods on cl.

My early prediction is the ISF will get lots of votes.
A nice set of 20's with coilovers to improve the ride make it the perfect luxury-sport car combination.

I love my GS but the 2nd best in my opinion would be a tie between the ISF and the LS460

I feel the same way. I saw one in LA with 22" wheels with no drop and it still looked amazing. I am sometimes amazed at how much a set of wheels can do for some cars. The LS is gorgeous with custom wheels. The wheel and tire set up on the LS stock is a bit anemic. The tires look so narrow when you drive behind a stock one. It looks odd in stock form to have such a narrow tire on such a wide and heavy car. I guess they are reaching for maximum ride quality.
