I really like the new IS from the front. Not too sure about the rear. Maybe it would look better and sportier with a spoiler. Has anyone seen any pics of the rear with a spoiler?

$46,000 puts it too close to the GS.

it will top out just under $44,000 with all options. It will be like the GS 430 , with basically one equiptment level {loaded} across the country.

hi, i was just wondering what everyone's opinion was about the new IS versus the new 3 series.

duh this is a lexus forum so most likely the general concensus is lexus over bmw but i was wondering why the new IS over the new 3 series?

(relevant to value and pricing)

im asking because i am looking to trade in my gas guzzling rx for a sport compact

[bartkat]

Crude and complicated Teutonicism vs Japanese refinement. IMHO

Some guys from MYIS got to do a press test drive of a IS250 and a IS350 in California.

Here are the pics.

I'm hoping a 6 speed manual will be available on 2007 for the IS350.

I gave the base prices. For comparison purposes, one should also use the new IS base prices. I think the IS250 price will compare favorably with a similarly equipped IS300. Of course the 350 will be higher as it should be considered the "high performance" version.

[lexus411]

The 6 speed manual they are using on the IS 250 is the one currently use in the Tundra. I think once they re-design there own we will see more of it.
