I think IS350 can be part of the "i wish my car was faster" now that the IS-F has been released and in peoples homes. the IS250 people will be even sadder now that we have the slowest 2IS

If I had a 350 I'd join anyways. Like more fast is a bad thing.

i wanna join this thread.. just cause its slow doesnt mean you wont get tickets! (not that i've gotten any) but yeah.. worst decision of my life.. i could have gotten a 350 for the same price with nav and prem package exactly like my 250 i should have waited.. yet i am young and i didnt know! now im paying out the @$$ for it and i really regret it.. can't get rid of it cause i'd be reallyy upside down.. and plus i NEED a car even if i rid of my 250.. no money for a beater btw this is my first car i bought it myself when i was 18 its been a year now.. i will be posting pics sooner or laterr

Default Not me

I've never had a 6 cylinder car so my IS250 is a definite upgrade.

Style and luxury beats speed in my book any day.

If I wanted to go fast, I would have bought a Mustang.
