Is there any difference aesthetically between the IS350 and IS250?

I know that BMW 3 series, 330 has the chrome grills, more HP, etc.

thanx in advance

 

As far as I know, there are no aesthetic differences between the IS 250/350 models. At the IAIAS show however, Lexus was displaying an IS 350 with a new blue color, similar to the M3 color.....I think Lexus might follow the BMW route and only provide that color in the IS 350 (BMW did it with their M3), but that's only a wild guess....we'll have to wait and see!

 

On the outside, only the badge...IS250 or IS350. Inside, there are several things including the automatic button for changing between fresh air and recirculation.

 

The 350 has bigger brake rotors.

 

There is a difference with the spoke configuration of the wheels.

 

Actually, you can get the 17 inch (12 spoke) or the 18 inch (ten spoke) wheels for either the 250 or 350. The 18 inch alloys are upgrades with summer tires. And that's not including the ISP or G-Spider wheels...

 

and also caliper size

 

Hey you know what? I forgot to mention that THERE IS A DIFFERENCE between the IS 250AWD and the IS 250/350 RWD models. In the 250 AWD all 4 wheels are the same width, in the IS250/350 RWD models, the wheels are staggered. (18x8 front and 18x8.5 rear).
