Congratulations on all counts; enjoy!

traded my 2005 Honda S2000 in for my 2006 IS350.... having it less than a year cost >$10k in depreciation---ouch! But I love the IS so much, and having an automatic tranny in LA traffic is priceless. I definitely miss having a convertible at times, but it was not worth the lack of space and back seat...

My 2006 IS 250 replaced a 2004 VW Touareg V8. Huge difference. I miss it at times. The roads here in Puerto Rico are pretty bad.

2006 G35 6MT fully loaded, premium+Nav+Spoiler+Rear Active Steering wheel and etc..

it was a great car..I loved the exterior but the interior was just ok..
I still missed the 310 HP that I had, but the IS250s aren't too bad..
I'm very happy that I went with IS250,,and I love the better-gas-mileage!

The Lexus replaced a Berlina Black 2004 Honda S2000. I loved that car to death, it was just a blast to drive, but the Lexus was a more practical choice.



Before that, I had a 2006 base 350z 6mt, also black on black.

A 1999 Honda Accord LX-V6 coupe with 120K miles and a blown engine. Yeah I got the one that sucked the eggs.
