Trying to see if the wife could maybe jump ship from the 2004 RX to either car.

Trying to find out if the new IS350 has any other differences from the GS350 aside from transmission and smaller size. Looking at the interior, they look pretty similar. Are they similar engines and is the IS a good enough deal at about $10K less? Am I missing too much with the IS350 instead of the GS350?

Thing about the GS350 that got me was the cost being in the $50s.... I think the IS350 is in the $40s right? The IS is significantly more affordable and would suit her small size (she's petite, only 5') better I think.

I gotta go test drive one, maybe today if I have time.

Thanks!

 

Entirely up to you and her, but if she's only 5' tall, then the IS350's front bucket seats would fit her better...
