oh yes! IS350 is a hot car. I really like my S but it's getting long in the tooth sorta speak. going on 74k miles

 

If you can get a good trade in...and dont get raped on the IS...more power to you...

 

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.

 

As long as you don't get ripped I'd say go for it. I hear the 350 is a fun car even with the automatic.

 

Meh...

 

And 2 doors

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

Couple of familiar names on the clublexus IS forum (not that I would know )

 

I tried a IS350 before, it is really fast

but the cockpit is kinda small, likes Corolla

 

I am still waiting for my CL to die, way too many miles to get anything good for it. May as well let it die on it's own.

 

Greenie =

 

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......

 

I think you will get raped on the payments. You won't get anything for your CL and you'll easily be paying about $32K to $35K for the IS.

 

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.

 

is350 is nice...but its got some stuff that is just off to me about the exterior styling...specially the mirrors...they are like elephant ears lol

 

I assume you are saying that will be the price after the trade-in.

 

seriously. i sat in that bitch at the auto show and was like wtf?!

 

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.

 

i don't know what y'all are talkin about? the new IS is fuckin HOT! no complaints about it from me! hey if the interior is too tight for you, maybe its time for trimfit...lol

 

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.

 

rather have the the G35, im not really feelin the IS

 

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

 

No IS comes with factory HIDs, they are always an option on both 250 and 350. The 350 is the top-end IS.

 

you see the new g35 coupe comin out 2007

 

April New York auto show will be the official release:

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.

 

dont forget the skyline

 

IS350 will have a stick in 2007. That will be a hot car. I'm in the next gen. G35 camp though. Car is beautiful.

 

I'm only afraid that as soon as I trade in my CLS, acura will anounce that it's coming out with a new coupe...

 

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.

 

And what have YOU been smoking??

 

I'm just hoping that pigs will fly !!

Until the boys over at http://vtec.net/modelmatrix/ remove the sub-nsx stuff from the model matrix I still hope that pigs will take to the sky

 

I could never understand why they didn't continue with the CL-S. The next gen Honda Accord Coupe was definitely a take off on the CL-S coupe. And the pigs are flying!

 

It didnt sell as planned...


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...
