Lexus IS350
HOLY SHNIKES BATMAN -- My girlfriend traded in her rx330 for a new IS350, and she previously had a IS300. OH MY GOODNESS this thang is flippin sweet. If you get the chance to get behind the wheel DO IT. this is by far the most energentic and exciting car I have driven to date. I recently drove a 06 mustang gt and I think that the IS350 will give it a run for the money in a race. I am blown away . and I am lucky to have a key to the dern thing. ( the key is rather unusual, with the push button start) I have only one fear, she bought a black one. I hate trying to keep something like that clean. But I am glad Lexus has kept the bar raised up a notch against the competition. It is way bigger than the previous IS300 both inside and out, and way more responsive. My only complaint is that it does not fell glued to the road like the 300 did, I guess since it is bigger and sits a bit higher this may hold some of the floating feeling to blame. but even still I am in love. The interior has some of the coolest lighting of any car and the gauges are completely redone. This is something you should check out ASAP. thanks for reading my rant and rave.

I kinda made her upset after turning the TRAC off and pushing the power button , and them smoking the tires till the rear end started sliding! ( and as far as deliverance goes, It is a new parkway, it is rarely used cause half of it is not finished. I live in a new house in new subdivision. )

nice indeed, however, u better hurry and put a 3m clear bra on it b4 it is 2 late. The paint on the IS is as BAD as the paint on the Scions......... 
I own a IS too. IF u still dont believe me, go check out the lexus forum on the web. Also ur gonna hear a ticking sound from the engine but dont worry about it......
I wonder how u drive a box while yr girl drives a IS 350, oh yea go buy her a set of 18' BLACK rims for her and she might marry ya ........wahahahaaaaaa
j/k

And nothin' wrong with a box - I have a tC, and I surely can afford a "better' car...

Yeah, I can afford something better - the point was not to judge and you're doing just that.

Hey LA-tc, what do you do for a living, your car isn't much more than mine, and by the way how is life in mom and dads house, I don't think how I make money money or what I chose to spend it on is any of your bussiness. But since you asked I work for CSX Transportation, I live in a very nice neighborhood in a house that was built in september of last year. I make enough money to drive anything I want, especially with all the corporate purchase plans available to me through my job, I happen to like my scion and my girlfriend happens to like the lexus so she got one. Granted it helps that she works for a lexus dealership, but none the less, make your bed so mommy doesn't fuss. I know college is so tough. please, keep it friendly and so will I.

BTW, la-tc, If you wanna see one get in your IS 300 and drive to the dealer and look at one. I don't think it is neccessary, as a lexus key has been in my pocket every day for the past 3 years. It is a very cool car, but to me just another lexus. I am sure you think you are something with that car, but in cali, the IS300 is as common as an accord or silverado pickup. I will stop now.

Well to answer yr question, NO I don’t have a mother or father……And YES C.E - Computer Engineering is tough in university and I’m pretty sure I will get a job in a big engineering firm than some no name transportation. And please don’t even compare Georgia to Cali. You’re jus unbelievable, why do u have to pick on my “mommy/daddy”. Is that what people like to do in Georgia?
