First off – you have to understand going in, that the Lexus IS targets a wide range of people with different desires from a car. Gilmore girls to real car enthusiasts. But for an enthusiast – it’s all there. Lexus has found a way to appease the masses & make a great all-around car… without sacrificing performance in the name of comfort. A lot of cars try and fake it these days; the IS is the real deal. From one enthusiast to another – you’ve gotta go with the IS350 over the 250. Buddy-to-buddy, arm around the shoulder, I’d say… do whatever you’ve gotta do to make that happen....
