Default Any Difference Between...

Is there any difference in body style between the IS250 and the IS350?
My friend and I got into a bit of an argument today and i would like to know if i was wrong, because i got him to agree eventually...

Thanks.

There is NO difference in body style between the IS250 and IS350.

The only "exterior" differences that you can see from the outside would be the "3" in the IS350 badge and the larger rotors/calipers.

And rims, provided the 250 buyer didnt opt for the ten spoke 18"s.

i had a 250 in tungsten pearl with black interior and later traded it for a black sapphire 350 with grey interior, it seems a little larger than my 250, but i think its my brain playing tricks on me because im pretty sure the only difference are the engines, and im thinking that the difference of the interior colors can make the car seem smaller!

yep the only exterior difference between the IS250 to the IS350 are the bigger brakes an the "3" badge, Not even the wheels are different because the 17" inch
wheels are standard on ALL ISX50, but usually the IS250 and the IS350 comes with the optional 18" wheels, except the AWD.

this is one part where I wish Lexus didn't work so hard at economies of scale. I wish we could have at least different rims between the 250 and 350.

BMW sells enough of each model to justify making pretty clear distinctions between an entry 3 series and the higher end 3, i guess.
