ptmis250

I just got an 09 IS250 AWD and from the 06, its wayyyy different ride quality. They changed the steering geometry, it seems to have more Castor and steers very straight and narrow, unlike the 06 which had a tendency to wander. The bumps are better handled and I think there is more sound deadening material in the 09's. You can't even feel the tranny switch gears on the 09, its much smoother than the 06. Its a very refined car at this point, they made many improvements other than cosmetic. I would say this is the finest lexus I have even driven.
