Off to Lexus today....

Well I absolutely am in love with my TSX but I have to check out the new IS. I called two dealerships near me and one of them has only one 250 (so thats out) but this other dealership has two 250's (Black/Black) + (red/gray) + one 350 (silver/gray) . I plan on test driving the 350 AND the 250. I want to feel the difference.

I am actually really excited, I have heard so many good things about the IS. My roomie may get a new car soon so maybe I can push her to get it and keep the TSX and swap cars

Unless I become so in love and buy it on the spot!

I will definitely take some pics and give a good feedback. I have done lots of research and think its way better to see in person and try it out.

Cars (amongst other things) can be deceiving. I was in love with the RX-8 (still am) loved it even more in person but it isnt that fast



I wish I would have been able to do the Taste of Lexus!

If getting an IS will stop you from asking the same questions over and over in A-TSX than I'm all for it

I already have. I drove one at the dealership and I also did the BMW Ultimate drive a couple of months ago and really got to test it out.

What an amazing car....

Lexus of Naperville just opened that new lot earlier this year - it's very very nice. They are probably one of the best Lexus dealers in Chicagoland - highly recommended. I bought an 05 ES330 from them last year and couldn't be happier with the service and treatment.
