love the IS350, great car overall... everyone I give rides to always loves how comfortable it is compared to other sedans... the IS's are popular here in Dallas-I see them everywhere....

 

These cars are a whole lot more reliable than BMW/Audi/Benz. However, like any foreign car, you're going to pay if you go to a stealership. The good news here is that you get Toyota reliability. The problem with the German cars is that reliability goes down the drain once they get out of warranty (this is what keeps the dealers in business!).
