Oh yeah forgot some pics.



And the trade in.


I miss the power and driving dynamics of the G though.

Being new to the whole Lexus experience I'm very pleased. It's difficult to point to any one thing and say this is why I like this car. Having bought the 2010 IS350 convertible for my wife in August I appreciate it's overall fun factor. Top down, excellent sound system to it's comfortable seating and quality soft touch materials inside.

The RX350 we purchased couple days ago feels solid and business like. Visibility is excellent out the back while the quality inside is top notch.
If I may, my wife the other day said it best and even though it's not exactly how I would put it I got the gist of it.

"The IS makes me feel sexy & powerful while the RX safe and business like."

I love everything about my 2IS

The roof liner is nice, the paint is beautifully flawless, the nice sedate LED lighting, I like the way the cloth hanger handle moves, the doors have a smooth solid feeling, the smoothness of the engine & drivetrain, the cocoon luxury comfort and most of all the reliability!

Two little things that I really appreciate (the GS design) are the thigh extender and how the windshield wipers work. I was in a new 15 RX and 14 GX past few weeks. Not sure if the GS has better isolation or the angulation of the windshield but both the RX and GX wipers sound very disrupted and rough when working. The GS wipers just work effortlessly.

Funny thing about the one at Amped was it's one of the more 'beat' LFA's out there. Over 40,000 on the odo and it's been seen in several colored wraps. The yellow is it's factory color

Wow didn't know that!

Anyway JUST now found something totally cool & nerdy. Cup holder! This SUV just went to #1 in the world. Lol. Right there in front of me on the left side of the steering wheel. I'm set.(Product placement not of my own will. Yummy!)

But as the question goes here's what I like: Lexus is not a "me-too" product. It is understated, yet of better value. However it is bold in its identity, and somewhat exclusive through its rarity. Some things are not perfect, but it is in the details where it outdoes the other by far.

My first love for Lexus started with the IS200. Maybe not a better drivers car than the a BMW 320i, but it felt so solid, so tight and secure. Not a powerful engine, but with a lot of character. My favourite thing was looking at the instrument panel with its three small gauges in the big one, like a chronograph watch. Such a nice detail.

That I found interest in the Lexus brand and like all its other RWD based cars.
Really like this answer! Especially the "me too!" part. I wanted to ask what people's least favorite aspects were, but figured I'd do this one first!

The fact that a dude asked me if there is a LS1 under the hood after he heard my car:

When I had my IS250, I loved the interior design and the service.
