What I love about my IS:
*so many questions/problem threads*
I love it when I'm driving and i see other guys on the sidewalk tap their friends on the shoulders, nod your way for the other guy to turn around and look, and you know hes saying 'check out that lexus'

I was at a bar 2nite and a older guy (40's 50's) had a IS250 Mat/Red. I talked 2 him for about 20 min.
He now wants red outs/fog overlays and is gonna become a CL member tomorrow! I love my car and people that love Lexus.
Keep the good times rollin!

Yea I love it too. Came from a ricey Honda to a Lexus. Everytime I drive people just look and droolz :b:: Some dude and his gf in a beat up 98 Jeep Cherokee shot me a bird while they were turning but I could careless. At the end of the day I'm still driving a Lexus and they're still driving a POS cherokee.

The little perks: Went to the Texas Rangers game, drove into the Lexus sponsored parking lot right across the street from the stadium and they valet parked it free, normally $30. Came out after the game, they brought the car and we were gone and beat all the crowds.

Gotta get tickets to the fens first:P
Actually, I got lots of compliments on my BMW and was one of the first 6k e90s built for this country. Soon enough, the damn things were everywhere. I like the fact that my IS flys under the radar and I don't pull up behind 6 others at a stop light.

What I Love About My IS:
It spoils me!!!
Everything works exactly when I need it, awesome ML sound system keeps me rockin, A/C that cools me down on these hot FL days, cooled seats that is MORE than just a gimick, a Nav system that is one of the best, used it last night to find a seafood restuarant by the beach 20 miles from where I lived and had never been to before, took less than 2 mins from searching for the name POI to setting the Nav for destination, simply awesome and for guys no more having to ask for directions.
It really does spoil me!!

I love how the car drives so much. I love the interior. It's just an amazing car all around. When i drive rentals (i do often on business trips), i cannot wait to get back home and hop in my car.
When people ask me if i made the right decision buying it, without i doubt i say YES!! I'll keep this thing until 150k miles or more.

For now. The 2IS is only 2-3 years old don't forget and Lexus is still ramping up production numbers for the IS. With the price of this car being so cheap they will be everywhere soon enough. I'm not sure why there is any discounting of this car as the demand seems to be there. I selfishly wish Lexus would keep the price artificially high to keep the car somewhat unique. I know the goal is to sell as many as possible, so we have to enjoy its scarcity for now because it won't last. The IS will be everywhere like the BMW 3-series because it is the cheapest model making it accessible to a lot of people. Maybe Lexus views it as the "entry level" Lexus. I remember seeing the car for the first time last year and said to myself "wow what Lexus is that?" and decided late this winter that I was going to get one as soon as the weather got nice. Once the Spring came I think everyone else had the same idea because since then I've seen increasing numbers of them around here. I had originally planned on getting a GS in the next year or two, but the IS had similar features in a sportier body so I couldn't resist.
