That looks so hot! My fiance/wife will get on in a year after all the first year bugs are worked out with the car.

I love the new IS350. However, like many cars I see coming out today, I still am less than pleased with the rear end. Out of all the pictures I've been seeing the rear shots always leave more to be desired. That wouldn't stop be from buying the car as with many other cars out there, but I just don't know why it seems like all the manufacturers are missing a bit on the rear end style.

I just notced something. This car over all looks very BMW ish. Not Bangled BMW style but BMW style in general. This IS almost looks like what the new BMW 3 series should have looked like. I also just noticed the BMW trend of having the marker lights slant opposite the tail light slant. Just like the BMW where the headlights and tailights have an upward sland and the bumper markers sland away and downward, I see the rear of the IS is the same. I generally like the same flow theme just as the front of the IS is and how it all flows in the same direction.

I've also noticed if/when I buy an IS350, one of the first things I'll do is upgrade the rims. The rims look a little small on the side profile shot. It looks like 19" would look perfect, but it still probably would accept 20" rims.

I'm thinkin' this too. A lot of people don't think this is true, but I've noticed this with my IS and my RX, which are both first year models.

The "bugs" aren't necessarily mechanical, but also includes features/options/enhancements.

Please don't quote the pictures as it makes the thread huge.

Thank you.

I agree. While I have had good success with 1st year models like my 91 Legend, and 04 RX330, there are some growing pains. I will no longer buy a 1st year car unless it is used for a good price and I already know the history of the car and what to expect. You are right, our RX330s are good cars but if I knew how much less headaches the 05 had I would have gladly waited.

I can't beleive no-one noticed this. But look at these recent pics, I see the Mark Levinson logo, I don't think I have seen that on previous prototype photos have we? Also do I see a cassette tape right below that? argh!! what wasted space for a cassette, does the public really use that?

i like that interior color but i think i would rather perfer that grey looking one we seen in previous pics, and u see that the cassette player is all the way at the bottom so maybe they kept it just in case someone still uses them, otherwise place it at the bottom of the console where its hardly noticed

actually, the mark levinson logo has been there for all the previous prototype photos. and that's not a cassette deck, that's an MD deck, which, it seems, will only be available in japan.

The interior cluster looks very clean and sharp.

Enjoy.
