Default Compliments?!?!

Compliments?
Hate?
Stories?
Envious Looks?
Rubber necking?
Breaking necks?

You get the idea....


Please Share....!

Compliments, envious looks and brealking necks for the styling.

Rubber necking for the EV-mode. A completely silent run is a head turner, when it's not a Prius.

When my car was about four days old a girl came up to me in the parking lot of Home Depot and asked me what kind of car it was, then she told me it's beautiful.

Lol!

Back in August 2013, 2 guys in the same car while driving next to me got super excited when they saw my car, I could read their lips "oh my god, it's that the new IS?!?!". They giggled like little girls.

A lot of complements from young to old. Everyone seems to love the car when view in person versus pictures. For some reason, pictures do not portray the cars lines.

I also received a lot of complements on my Audi A4 Cabriolet. But compared to owning BMWs, the Lexus IS seems to turn a lot of heads.

Since I am 16 driving such a nice car, I usually get the "Wow. You must be really rich" or "Kids like you shouldn't be driving these kinds of cars when they turn 16". Once some guy thought that the car was over $100K and I was just laughing at that.

I haven't noticed looks when I'm driving, but when I have passengers, they say the car gets a lot of looks. Best thing so far is valets have left it out front without me even asking a couple of times! That's always nice!
