I went from a Mustang 5.0 to a Lexus IS300.. then to an IS350... and then,
finally back to another 5.0..

The IS350 is more luxury then sports car and it is more sports car then the 4.6 Mustang. Now, the new (2011) 5.0 is a different story.

I really like Mustangs - and while the IS is certainly no LS, in the luxury department it's light years ahead of a Mustang. There's several comments the author made that are clearly intended at stereotyping and insulting Lexus and other Japanese car manufacturers. That article is complete trash.

Hope you enjoy the experiance of sitting in the plastic chairs at the crowded Ford service department while you wait an excessively long time only to find later that they screwed something else up while they did your oil change or whatever.
