There is a thread about this but it's really long... So it's hard to get a good idea. I thought a poll was in order.

I gave up my '04 Solara for the IS. I really wanted a coupe but what's it for if it ain't sporty and fast enough?

That was my thinking too! At first I considered at everything from a Boxster to a used Jag XK8 to a BMW 330ci, but then I had the revelation... I can get something that's faster and more practical! I guess that's the logic behind the "sport sedan" category...

Replaced my '91 mint condition Volvo 740. I will miss it this winter. I'm afraid Ill be plowing the streets with the IS since it is allot lower.

Merged, we don't need two long-running active posts on the same topic

IS 350 replaced my Subie, ..and I do miss the power of 400+hp w/ AWD, but not the headaches of rattles, shakes, gas milage, harshness, etc...



No regrets so far.

My IS350 replaced an 05' Escalade ESV Platinum Edition. BIG DIFFERENCE. I do miss the Escalade sometimes, but the gas was killing me

Default Glad It's Gone

Replaced my 2003 Mercedes Benz Kompressor. Do I miss her? Not at all! To many problems, and to much many to fix. Even the customer service at Berck Imports of the Carolinas was AWFUL! Needless to say, I'm head over heals about my new IS!!
