I still have my VR-4 but I haven't touched it once since buying the IS.

I love my VR-4 but it was time for a change.

Audi A6 Quattro; I had this car for almost 4 years (great interior/exterior but not very reliable).

It'll be replacing my 2003 Subaru WRX, which will have about 55k miles on it when it goes. Great car, never a single issue. Just regular maintenance and off it goes.

But, I have a seriously long commute and it's not the most comfortable car in the world. It doesn't hurt that I have a connection at a Lexus dealer, so I ordered my IS350 for invoice... that was reason enough to persuade me it was time for a new car. I never keep anything more than 3 years typically, just because I like to drive a variety of cars and enjoy the change.

My IS 350 would be somewhat replacing (I'm not getting rid of this car) my 1994 Toyota Corolla
I never had any problems with it and still LOVE this car
