Most likely. I've been an Acura guy for decades, but with the TLX run over with, this is the logical next choice. Personally, after much research, I think the Lexus IS is a better vehicle than the Acura. I prefer my vehicles assembled in Japan. My '09 Acura TSX is a great car and is still fun to drive with its 6 speed. However it's time for something new. I'm just waiting to see what these new IS colors look like but leaning toward the Iridium Silver.
just personal opinion, but the previous gen IS was a conservatively good looking little sedan. the current gen, starting 2014, began as a great looking, very sexy little sedan. but, unfortunately, the designers can't keep their hands off it, and every "update" has make it uglier and uglier. absolutely NOT buying a '26.

^^ I agree, I look back on the old IS that I owned and I like the newer model. I got the 2025 IS 500 UE but I almost decided to get the 2026 because I love the new interior
