Acura 2004 TL, now have a 2007 Lexus IS250. Wasn't by choice initially, the TL got wrecked by some guy in a parking lot. But no regrets since. The AWD makes all the difference.

2001 Toyota Camry XLE V6. 145k miles. Was a solid car but wanted something that handled less like an oil tanker. Have 2012 IS350 now.

My '07 IS 250 is my third Lexus. It is a great daily driver, but sadly I'm keeping it stock for now due to trying to stay frugal.

I had a 2001 LS 430 (UL), that was lightly modded with airbag suspension and '05 sport wheels, etc.

Before that, I had a 98 GS 300, which I modded with Espelir drop springs/kyb shocks, and Work VS-XX wheels

Here was my ride
It's a 07 with 40K miles at that time. I don't think it's as fast as the IS350 but I love the style, kept it for 2 years and sold it for the exact same price I bought it for.
