Your IS350, even though faster than most of the cars with the same amount of power, saves more gas than a champ.

-Getting up and going to work everymorning.....$300
-Being stuck in a traffic everymorning and evening.....$-300
-Being in those luxurious leather seats that soothes you so, you can be energized to walk into your office with a BIG smile....priceless!

...when you walk up to your other cars, pull on the handle and wonder "why is the door not unlocking"

when i see a late model land rover (Lr3, range rover) or Benz or VW Touareg stranded and left by its owner on the emergency lane.

I thank my Lexus for the AMAZING reliability.
