Wow! Feels like yesterday when you mentioned that your wife didn't want you to get the 2011 IS... and now you are on to the 2014 IS! Your 2011 IS looked great; I liked the first set of Vossen wheels you had. I'm sure your 2014 IS will be awesome as well.

I just got the call from the dealer that my 3IS is here. Going through PDI now and I should be able to pick her up later today. #Excited

Sorry, but that side-by-side still has me wanting to stick with my 2gen IS.

I sold the Vossen Cv7's and gonna pick up another set of Vossens when I get the new car. I might go back to Cv2's but will probably do a custom finish.

Congrats to the new car. But why change to the same car every 2 years?

my question exactly, doesn't the '14 IS250 has the exact powertrain as the previous IS250? only the new IS350 gets the 8 speed auto.

The 2014 IS completely different from the 2nd gen. The motor may be the same but that's about it. I like Lexus and I love the new re-design so it only made sense for me to get a 2014.
