    Congrats. We looked at them when car shopping for my mom (who has the G37x coupe in my sig), but you couldn't get the IS350 in AWD which sucks! Does my mom really need the 330hp that the G37 makes (or 306 from the IS350)? Hell no, but I certainly like to use it all occasionally when driving!

    They now offer AWD on the 2011 is350 now. So if anyone get the 2011 you get best of both worlds which is the AWD and the 306hp instead of the 205hp. Op, congrats on the new ride. I my self have an is250 AWD. Have you thought about the getting some F sport accessories?

    The Lexi ISs are great cars, congratulations. The exhaust is very muted though, you may need to swap it out if you are used to a sporty exhaust.

    In other news, I would never ever get a Lexus because they are the exact same cars as Toyotas, but 20 grand more. Anyone ever look at a Camry and a Lexus ES (?) side by side? A land cruiser and a Lexus GX470 (?) side by side? A Matrix and a Lexus 200 (?) side by side? I mean, I know all about platform sharing, but at least take the pains to change the sheet metal. It seems they take a Toyota, slap on some LEDs and metallic paint, leather and call it a Lexi and charge 20 grand more. Geez.

    Back to OP, great car man, white is the best too. :)

    Yeah I do have plans for some f-sport springs and exhaust. I want the lower more aggressive stance that you get with the f-sport. Just didn't want to spend nearly 50k for it.

    I would love to have a Tacoma that actually gets 25 mpg but realistically I personally was looking at 15-16 mpg with my normal driving. I am now getting 22 mpg. Yes the corolla may be nearly the same size but looks and rides like a piece o shit compared to an IS. Thank you for the comparison though.
