I was turned off on the IS due to the lack of ventilated seats, less leather, and most importantly.... the CHEAP *** look/feel of the ML package! Man, I didn't realize how crummy it was until I took it for a long test drive and realized it's all cheap plastic. It flexes with minimal force, and what really astonished me was the slight side to side movement when you touch it. I also thought the ivory ***** are going to look like crap after a few months even with monthly cleaning, and just felt it was pretending to be luxurious rather than being luxurious.

Maybe I made a mistake by driving 4-5 GS's well before considering the IS, and became spoiled. But for a 49k msrp car I was shocked at the low quality interior. After owning my GS for a month there are a few things I wish it had that are included with the IS. Mostly a place for my lower left leg to brace against the door while corning hard. I have to jam my knee/knee cap into the door to hold my body in place when I'm driving... enthusiastically...
