Default 2007 Lexus IS 250 review

"In its second year on the market, the next-generation Lexus IS 250 luxury sport sedans ratchet up both handling performance and comfort with reconfigured standard equipment, option packages, and the ability to disengage the stability and traction control systems. The V6-powered Lexus IS models, which debuted in 2006, combine striking styling with one of the most compelling packages of performance, luxury, and safety in this highly competitive segment..."

Here's a new review on the 2007 Lexus IS 250, from TopSpeed. It includes info on design, performance, safety and pricing. Available is also a picture gallery with the sedan.

Wow... a 250 manual with no ML or Nav but still has the seat memory??? Check out the buttons above the driver side window controls.

It's not a US Model. Here's a quote from the review:

"Seating upholstery is available in a choice of standard fabric, sports fabric and perforated, semi-aniline leather, double stitched to unprecedented tolerances."

I'm afraid to click it. I'm sure they'll complain about the lack of power.

Aluminum trim looks horrid in sterling interior.

Yep. The pink IS was only offered in Japan as I understand it.

Memory is part of the Sport or Luxury package and can be had without ML or NAV.

Hmm, it was a special edition IS, and it really wasn't a dark pink more like a very light one. I wonder if they no longer offer it. I'm sure other member's have seen what I am referring to. I didn't really care for it myself.
