Default The thing was wide

I parked my hs by it, and it was as wide or wider than my hs, and just as long. I uploaded that image to a car identifying website, and it kept saying that it is a "BMW 5-series"(???!!)

never mind, sorry, I saw another one just like it. Alright, I guess it is an older IS. I have never really seen those types of older IS's until recently! They seem kind of big, compared to the later 🤔 IS's !

It is a rear wheel drive based platform with options of a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder engine and/or AWD. Looks like they removed the model ID badges from the one in the photos.

My former next door neighbor of 20 years has one, but he is retired now and rarely drives. It is a garage queen and has less than 40,000 miles! I still keep in touch with them as we were the ones who moved.
