I don't see that the color of the car determines whether it's feminine or not.
I'm a chick and I drive a Nebula IS350 F-Sport, so....

However, when I see a VW Beetle with those damn flowers on the dash....I think girl car.

My girlfriend has an Ultra White CT F Sport.....get me? Also i don't see any logical reasoning why anyone would purchase a 250. The difference in price and gas mileage is small, while the difference in performance is huge. It reminds me of what apple did with the iPhone, they still make the 16gb to force consumers into buying the more expensive 64gb model without batting an eye. Obviously i don't think this was necessarily the intent for Lexi but it is what it is.

No sexism here. Just feel like 250 is much more underpowered.

So is the 350 and its a fat cow lol, you want power with lexus go with the ISF or RCF that's power. Which is why I went with the 250 hoping the ISF comes back.

I'd get white over most other colors. But I won't drive an IS cause I'm a guy. Hmmm.

I agree. Fat cow that can still dance. 250 is fat cow that can barely move. A somewhat hilly environment and the engine is unbearable.

I don't want a V8. Still wish the fat cow 350 had 350 hp. Plenty enough to make it a horse at least

Lmao love the dance analogy lol!!!!, that made me laugh bro. Yeah they should have given the 250 atleast 250 man. I love the ISF if it was still made in 2015 I wouldn't even be in this forum, I was not gonna pay 60k+ for a 2 door (RCF) with 3 kids but I would of paid 60k for a new ISF easy.

Is this a real question or OP just trying to make us lol?

I'll chime in anyway...its all in your mind brother.

There is no such thing as a chic car. Women can only wish a car company will build a car just for women. Unfortunately, NOT going to happen.

Now back to your question. If a white Lexus IS is a chic car. Just imagine how many women you will attract by driving one. Don't know about you guys, but when I'm driving, I rather have women looking and smiling at me than men.

I so agree. ISF would have been what I would have looked at. I'd still rather have a 350 with 359hp but if there was an ISF and the current IS350, I may have gone with the V8
