Hi everybody!

After previously leasing two pre-owned Lexus, my family just leased our first brand spankin' new Lexus. It is a '08 Lexus IS250 . The car drives, feels, and looks fantastic! I will update this thread later with the rest of my impressions and thoughts once I drive it more. We rolled it off the lot with 16 miles on the odometer and it is now at 23. I'll also add better pictures but here some quick ones from tonight. I will now be browsing/searching the 2IS forum .

So many flavors to choose from...


This is the one!


Her new home

I know which one I'd pick again.

Don't be afraid to take 'er out in the sun.

And get the clear bra pronto, before the first bug puts a chip in your new baby.

Unfortunately, I am not allowed to mod it , as it is for my younger brother/rest of the family to drive. But I can't resist, I'll be doing some upgrades to it .

Hey thanks for the tip. I didn't even think about a clear bra so soon. I'll get one soon. The paint is just so new and flawless .

Yes the plan is to pay it off after the lease is over.

Yes I will be, I'll even fight them for it if I have to . I'm afraid my 2GS might get a little jealous though, so I need to spread the love .
