Not feeling the wheels. The car design will probably grow on me over time.

Nice car. Not a fan of the design overall, or the wheels, but that new interior design is really nice.

I know it would be a mix feeling my brothers dont like the wheels either lol, but if any of you guys know me well that's the first of many wheels to come. My 07 i had for 2yrs ran 6 different wheels, wheels are already up for sale after only 4 days..... right now the car is on springs because the coils are not out as yet expect more mods,slamming the car, different wheels and hopefully a front lip come out soon.....

I'll say I love the wheels, maybe a little VIP for "sports" sedan, but I still like them (maybe because they're similar to my AME LX). Why are you selling them?

in thumbnail form this picture looks like a wagon

I miss the IS sportcross, haha, but those wheels would look good on a CT.

Not a huge fan of the wheels but I actually like the redesign. At first I thought it was terrible and the rear tails look a bit saggy still but overall very nice.

You really don't waste any time, can't wait to see what's in store for it.

Oh, I thought I saw a wagon too haha

Oh the lower rear bumper is unpainted plastic? Too bad. Takes away from the flow.

The backseat is definitely bigger than the previous gen, I think a baby seat would fit fine (but i've never tried. )

Thats true... one of my buddies owns a 350 and another has the F... i think they are getting like 25 and 20 respectively. Although, my tl doesnt do much better then 25 on the average.

A midgit wouldn't have enough leg room in the rear in last gen. If it had any less room, they might as well make it a 2 seater.

the 1st gen holds a special place in my heart, since I went to a car show in Japan in 1998 as a 14-year old, and pegged the Toyota Altezza as my dream car. And for better or worse (mostly worse) it defined a good decade of aftermarket accessories in the import scene, haha.

Nice car. I loved the redesign until I saw it in person. Silver is350 F sport came up behind me yesterday and the grill looks a LOT bigger in person, and I didn't like that (at least at that angle). Looked too big. Not a bad shape but overall looked too large. I still like it though. How does it drive in comparison with the older IS? And why the 250 and not the 350?

Really like the wheels actually, in the minority here, but the full-face gives it really nice presence. Didnt really like the redesign so much, but your car really opened up my eyes a bit. Good work.

Didn't like it in pictures, but once I saw it in real life, love it! The interior is gorgeous. Never been a fan of Lexus, but the IS and the GS are really good now

I like the interiors of the new IS, but don't care for the exterior design at all. I do think it looks best in silver from what I've seen in person. I'm also surprised that you're satisfied with the smaller engine. My friend's girlfriend had an '09 IS250. While its power is adequate for commuting, it was a little sluggish.
