Default New IS 350!

Hey guys I have posted previously regarding pricing on these vehicles but never introduced myself nor my car. I am coming over from the German scene I owned 2 VW GTIs before this and most recently a VW Golf R. Graduated from college and was just looking for something more professional now that I got my first real full time job in Downtown. So far super happy with it, extremely comfortable car and while not as fast as my heavily modified GTIs and Golf Rs its probably better that way because it keeps me out of trouble. Heres some pics of the former car and present 2015 Lexus IS 350 Ultra White and Rioja Red interior!

Nice looking car. Is it weird having lost your 3rd pedal?

That'll be an interesting change for you. But I'm sure you will enjoy the feel and luxury of the IS 350. It's an amazing car. Nice pics too.

Coming from a STi, it's not so much the pedal but the control in RPMs that I miss the most

But ZERO regrets

I love the color combo. I wish they sold the IS 350 here in Germany. All we got was the IS300h. :-/

OP...Great looking IS! I am picking mine up in a few days except mine is black inside....

I am debating leasing or buying....Mileage is not an issue for me but I am starting to think that buying may be a better option?! Hummmm

Thank you all for the warm welcome! It is definitely a whole different animal compared to my last cars but it is just such a comfortable ride. Im not in a rush to get to places i simply sit back and enjoy. As far as me missing the third pedal... My calf is thanking me for the auto tranny in rush hour traffic after work so im not missing it too much!
