F Sports are about as common a Camrys here in Los Angeles. I probably see more F sports than non F Sports near work.

I see at least 20 IS250s and maybe one or 2 IS350s daily where I live (LA). I feel as though honda accords and civics are rarer than the 3IS haha :P.

Ikr!!! It's like there's a 50% chance to encounter one at every red light.

Depends on which one :-)

The 981 Boxster and Cayman are pretty good. Don't see many engine or transmission failures. As long as the previous owner kept up with maintenance, and didn't over rev a manual, there isn't much to break.

There are hardly any IS350's at all here in KC. I have seen a few, but it's been a while. Most 3IS's I see rolling around are 250 or 300 F Sports. I ran into an IS300 F Sport that was pretty much identical to mine the other day - Atomic Silver with red seats.

One thing to note is that it's harder to find IS 200t's or IS 350 RWD's on dealer lots here due to the snowy winters.

The 200t with a simple piggy back tune has 300 lbs of torque =) and the torque comes on lower at 1500 RPM according to Lexus. So cool potential for 200t owners if they want more torque =)

as far as city with most 350 owners? i think LA probably has the most of anything owners as it has the most cars in the world. of any kind, any make, any year, any color, any engine. so naturally, LA would win in #s on anything

Hardly seen any 350 F sports in North NJ or Queens/Long Island NY. I've seen a handful of 250 F Sports and plenty of 250 non F sports.

Agreed. I don't see many 350s in the GTA at all. I don't think i've seen a 3IS 350 yet aside from mine. I've seen a few 2IS 350s here and there. All I see are 250s and 300s. Few 200Ts here and there as well.

i saw one on Highway 404 yesterday or the day before at 4.50pm afternoon, 2015 IS350 AWD Fsport, exactly same as mine same color too, i thought we're twin, his licence plate with "Lexus of London" cover. in Ontario Canada people drive RX350 and ES350 more, and all of them worried about Gas mileage, i don't get it, compare to TL and Camry my IS350 gets better gas mileage, i even compared to my co-worker Acura CSX, it's about 9/10 different or better than his.

People need to educate with Direct Injection Engine = More power less gas that's how direct injected works !

Cool

I'm in San Clemente (SoCal) and quite a few 200t models in my immediate neighborhood but I'm the only 350 around here.
