Hey guys. I bought a Lexus IS350 navi today. I have been drooling over this car since it came out. I was waiting to see what the new 07 TL and 07 G35 was going to be like. The new G just looks like a prettier version of the Maxima to me so that was out. The 07 TL did not have enough changes for me to trade in for a new one. I get bored with cars about every 2 years so it was time for a change. I absolutely loved my experience with the TL. It was the first real car I ever had. I never had one single problem with it. The big seller with the IS for me was the shear power of this car. I thought my TL was a rocket until I test drove it. The paddle shifters are a blast with the 6 speed auto and power mode. The cars fit and finish is amazing. I like the interior but not as much as the TL. Acura really has it together on that end for sure. I also never noticed how nice rear wheel drive is. One of the great things about it is the turning radius and how hard you can push it into a corner without out torque steer. Anyways I just want to thank all you guys for 2 years of fun on this web site. I have done many mods and it would not be possible without you. I will definitely be looking out for the next remodel of the TL. Like I said, I get bored pretty quick. Hopefully I can hold out till 2009 for all wheel drive. By the way, you get way more for your money in terms of options with the TL. I paid 45,000 for the IS and I still don’t have everything the TL has. I did however get that 306 hp and 0-60 in 5.1 seconds, which believe me make me grin ear to ear. Take care guys.

 

congrats, and have fun

 

congrats on your purchase! i was in love with the IS since the first gen. great choice

Congrats on your purchase.

 

The pics are from the Lexus web site. I have the gray color interior in the third pic down

 

Thanks nice. I was looking at an '03 IS300 before I bought the TL. I spent a little more for the TL for the options. I never drove a 350 but I know the 300s have a tight turning radius. What options did your TL have that the IS350 does not? Please tell me you got the Active headlights? I like the're self test how they go up and down and swing in and out on start up.

 

Congrats on the purchase xelvic.

This thread belongs in car talk. I dont want this turning into another comparison thread. Since I cant move threads there feel free to start this over there. Thanks!
