I hear the space of the new IS a lot less spacious compared to the CL.
But looks wise, *drool* its a beautiful car! If you are a big guy, you should re-consider that issue.
I am sure you did though.

IS350 is dope but no manual = no thanks for me. IS250 is too weak but does have the manual tranny.
I'll stick with my CL-S 6speed and wait until Lexus hopefully offers the 350 with the three pedals.

Lots of interesting coupes coming out... BMW 3 series, redesigned G35c, Rumors of a Lexus IS coupe, Rumors of a new Toyota Supra, and an Acura... oh... nothing.
KenSteele got a Black/Black IS350 loaded w/ ML sound... not sure what they gave him for his CL

my bro bought the new 06 IS250. I would choose that over the IS350 anyday. Gotta have AWD. Plus the 350 doesnt come with as many features as the 250. My bros is more loaded then a 7 series beamer. Sweet cars the IS series are though, especially the new ones......

The 350 is just as loaded. It doesn't have AWD but it does have 306hp! IS250 is base IS but you can option it out but it will never be nicer than the 350.

You'll pay $40K for a fully loaded IS250. Yeah they arent real roomy, but not too bad. the IS350 doesnt even come stock with HID's, has to be added. My bros came with HID's.

One thing that bugs me, is that the IS's don't come standard with HID's. It's not supposed to be an option. Good friend of mine sells them.

g35 is nice but everyone has them and the quality isn't up to snuff as far as im concerned.
the is350 offers power and luxury... but i won't get one now, prob wait a year or so

I traded my 02 CL-S in for a IS350 a month ago, granted it's a little small in the back but I don't have people in the back seat that often anyway. I was a pissed HID's didn't come standard, you need to get one with sport or luxary package. And I miss the extra side bolster support the CL had. Man is this car quick though, they run high 13's through the 1/4 and low to mid 5's to 60. dukmahsik I would go take a nice long test drive in one, that's what did me in.

IS350 is a very fast car. I test drove one at the Taste of Lexus in Westchester NY this past summer. It's a quick bunny. I saw nothing wrong with the interior or the exterior (other than 4 doors). The negatives are no manual in the 350 and you can't turn off the traction control/vehicle dynamic control. Even switched off, it's still on.

Anyway...
How gay is it that the 350 doesnt come in AWD. in 2007 they better make a manual and AWD option for it...how dumb could they be not to come out with those options...
