Not me, my fiancee bought a 2007 IS 250 in Smoky Granite Mica with black interiors. I love the car, we test drove a C230 and the IS is WAY more better. We bought the car at south bay Lexus.
I will be around this forum, I love cars and forums. This is a very good informative forums about Lexus and very helpful.
I will be posting pictures with the car and my 2007 STi Limited soon.

I want to post pictures of both cars... give me few days to get it nice.
Is the IS 250 required to run 91 (Cali gas prem) or regular gas is ok. I know my STi only runs 93 but 91 gas works ok. Due to the turbo/boost knock and detonation is likely to occur on 91 but no choices that getting it tune, what about the IS 250. Any knock/detonation on 91???
I havent read the manual

According to manual you need to fill up with 91 premium. If that is not available, you *may* fill with 87. But if you do so, you may experience degraded performance, bad fuel economy, knock and possibly other ailments. :-) Stick to 91..
There is also a long thread regarding 91/93/87 issues. You may want to read that thread as well.
