I think the IS250 is an awesome looking car. Mark over here seems to be calling it a ‘fridge’? Open your eyes, this car is one of the better looking cars out there. To be honest I hate the look of the new 3 series beemer for example. People seem to be comparing it to all the top of the line beemers and audis etc without realising that the Lexus is good 30K cheaper! If you were to spend X amoutn of money, and had a choice, you;d get a lot more with the IS250.

Another thing that bothers me are the people who critisize a car, without actually test driving it. If you opened up your senses, and taken one for a drive, you’d realise how well this car handles and how nice this car is to drive. This particular IS250 may not have as many balls as the sports versions of the 3 series, or A4, but neither do the lower end beemers and audis. Compare apples with apples, and refer to the IS-F next time when you feel like comparing the base model IS to the sports versions.

I bought an IS250 recently. After looking at the Audi, and Beemer, for the amount of money I was spending, the IS is top value, period. Take it for a drive, you will enjoy it!

Ok EVIL Knievel, Lexus….about to??? like saying Toyota is about to win an F1 race! I suppose coming 3rd is a pretty good result…given how much money and how many people led to it eh??LOL shame the majority of Lexus (just another name for Toyota) owners are NOT CAR ENTHUSIASTS so who give a flying phuck what they think/buy!!!Also who buys are car for social status? People who feel they need to prove something!!! Who are they proving it to?? Most people could care less about that. Better to spend your money on property or shares mate! Shame that Lexus/Toyota still has an appliance rating that closely resembles a fridge!!! LOL

Audi? u mean VolksVAAAAGEN?

Sorry Audi owners but Audi fell off when Lexus rose to higher social acceptance. Sorry Audi/VW b*tches

If you drive an Audi here, nobody even pays attention even if they make something better & better lookin than BMW M3 or C63 AMG. Social Status Ranking is now way behind Lexus. Audi here is not even consider ‘Stuntin or Ballin’ anymore. In other words “IT AIN’T STUNTIN B*TCH!”

blah blah blah.. whaaaa whaaa whaaaa

just get a car & stop b*tchn about those other cars you people don’t even own. But yet are so highly critical and thrash it down. Ex: Lexus IS

I don’t have a Lexus, might buy one someday jus keepn dat open… Nothing rides or stunts like my E63AMG, again driven many luxury whips.(my opinion)

Oh for all the Toyota *ahem* I mean Lexus haters… They are poised to become #1 automaker like *jeopardy chimes* rite now. Well in a few months.. Toyota/Lexus don’t give a sh*t if you hate their cars. Because in the real world Billions of people are loyal and love their product. So what people say don’t even affect Toyota/Lexus owners. Cus their cars will live longer than most of us.

P’s

facelifted their copy to keep it more in line with BMW/Mercedes/Audi…they needed to add a couple of recent design tips from the these Euro automotive guru’s to try and stay on the same football ground. Shame it will fail almost as many times at Toyota’s F1 team!!

It’s an IS250 endurance racer, not a face lift or hybrid as this and many other web sites speculated.

Someone comparing the RS4 to the IS250?

Whats next?

FlyingHigh,
RS4′s are completely different level.

The IS250 is best value in comparison to its competiton which would be the A4 and sub 80K Mercs, BMs, and Audis… with much less power and performance.

Heck S series is in the 90K+ range… about 30K more than the IS250… I dont see the comparison at all…

If your buying a sub 65~70K luxury, IS250 is up there for value.

In your Toyotaphile opinion TP.

The only problem with Japanese cars is they do seems to upgrade all to frequently. Not much loyalty.
Those bumps, nothing to do with pedestrian safety stuff, bad example if it is.

They should get the IS350 here to compete with the turbo BMW.

And youve seen an IS? Sounds like something a child would say…’oh oh i saw this particular thing, i want it i want it1′. If you were in the market for these cars, youd know doubt have more intelligence, in which case youd test drive them all and realise the IS wins!
