I was born in the 50's, but I don't purchase Toyota/Lexus vehicles to make me look cool. I purchase them because they are reliable. Some people buy cars to look cool, but surely you don't think this is an older-person trait. If anything, younger folks tend to be more trendy and fashion conscious. Look who spends the most on modifying their vehicle for looks--kids!

Excuse me. Not all of us Boomers (and, yes, I am one of them) think we're "cool". And, yes, I grew up with muscle-cars. Fun to drive once in a while, but I never was really that big a fan of them, except perhaps for the Plymouth Road Runner with its bright colors, bird-graphics and Beep-Beep horn.

I didn't get the IS because I necessarily wanted a sports sedan....in fact, I got the 55-series non-sport-oriented 16" all-season tire/wheel package the factory offered, because I wanted the smoothest ride possible on an IS. In fact, I actually preferred the ES and LS's underpinnings/suspension. What I DID like on the 1Gen IS, however (and what led me to buy one) was the bright yellow-sunburst color, the chronograph-style gauges, the chrome-ball shifter, and the smoothness/roadbility of the 3.0L in-line 6...all real classics, except that that particular engine had the fuel economy of a V8, on expensive premium fuel.

Actually didnt care for it before, but looks much better in the video. Also agree that the rear end does have some Jaguar vibes.
But I also dont care as I rather have something with a bit more performance. Great option for my parents though!
