Gawhh, so nice. Nice tint job will set it off.

Is it only the F Sport version that comes with the gauges like in the LFA?

How about a detailed comparo w the tsx to make us all jealous?
I only drove it like a granny when i had a loaner one, but man was it comfortable for my back and butt.

I wasnt a fan of the joystick nav/ent system though.

I had a 2009 Acura tsx so it was hard to compare an 09 to 2015. Overall the tsx imo the model I had cant compete. I liked the room of the tsx everything else besides the memory seats the is250 has on it. But again I never drove a special edition. But I do love my old tsx and miss it

the 6 in that thing is a turd. the 2.4 in the tsx outperforms it and gets better fuel economy. havent been in the new is250 so i cant vouch for the comfort or luxury. i know the tsx is a better performer. ill put my money on the IS for comfort.

Disagree like i said before I had an 09 tsx but it out does the tsx in everyway imo. The ride quality handling comfort interior in the new is250 is amazing. But for v6 should be fast. the is350 another animal

afaik, the previous generation IS250s were poo. I tested one before I got my TSX; night and day difference. Haven't tried out the new IS250, I'm sure it's much better.

I drove the new IS for a couple weeks(sister recently brought one and let me drove it when she was on vacation during the summer).
The 250 isn't a 'power' car. It's not that fast, but the sheer handling is pretty amazing. Best handling in class. Real driver's car mentality. The 350 is a monster.
One thing I noticed is the sheer road presence of the new IS. I drive a 2012 Audi A4 and sort of wish Audi went with a aggressive style instead of vanilla.
IS interior is wonderful as well. I was a bit let down by the engine, felt like Lexus should have made a lot more changes to engine like they did to the transmission,exterior,interior etc etc...........

The new IS is a big hit. People are buying it because it looks aggressive, it handles well, great interior and it's a Lexus.


I'll probably pick the TLX V6 though because I think it's more value for the money.

You hit it right on the head.

The car should have been 30-40 horses more around 240 250 and wouldnt have hurt to throw a turbo in there.

1. Styling wise the car is a head turner
2. Handling: Test drive 3 series and Audi a4 and handled better than the audi. BMW still has the market on lock.
3. Interior: In my opinion easily the best in the class.

Is350 is a beast you are right.

Yup....No TLX for me, at least not for a while. If after 3 years of Lexus ownership that a Type S is available, then I'll consider it then. We will still have the ILX as the g/f's vehicle so its not all lost yet...The part that makes me the saddest is not to the brand but my experience with the, these guys are my extended family.

I would hope they'll be supportive and understanding.
