All I got to say is that they better have a manual for the IS350. Without that, I'm not sure if it will interest me much.

This car looks so HOT!!!! If I were to buy another Lexus in the future, I know what it would be for sure!

I think Lexus has hit a home run with this car just based on the looks so far!

Ditto on the need for a manual. It's getting harder and harder to find a good car with a manual. Right now i'm looking at the S4, and the M3, but I'd ideally like to have the reliability of the Lexus.

I like the sharpness of the IS...this new variant is

Hope they bumped up the interior space an inch here and there too.
