Has some good things to say about how the car drives.

and the exhaust has even been given a beefy, metallic note for extra sportiness
the German competition should be very worried
First Opinion
Stylish, fast, fun to drive and beautifully made - the new IS has all it needs to tempt customers from German rivals. Bettering the previous car in every way - but keeping Lexus brand values intact - the model has head-turning styling and huge showroom desirability. It's a pity the 3.5-litre V6 isn't coming here, but the 2.5 is superb and makes for a silky smooth tourer.
At a Glance
* You'd expect a high-quality interior from Lexus, but the new IS scores on technology as well, with the infotainment system in the centre consolecontrolled via a touch screen. Keen drivers will appreciate the paddleshifters on the steering wheel, too.
* Engine: 2.5-litre V6, 220bhp
* 0-60mph: 7.3 seconds (est)
* On sale: September (est)
* Price: £25,000 (est)
