There was however a slight change in numbers...
I friggin' LOVE this car! What a difference from the 250!

D.Jobin, I am really glad you fared out ahead. I could not believe the pics when I seen them and especially, no airbag deployment. My props to you.

Yea, driving the 250 compared to the 350 is NIGHT AND DAY. When I was test driving both cars, I first drove the 350 for about 10 or so minutes and then got into the 250.............WOW!!!!!!!!!!! The 250 felt like I was driving a entry level honda civic.

I've had my IS350 since Nov. 2006 and never considered getting a 250 before I got my 350, therefore I never got a chance driving a 250. When I took my car to service last time, the dealer let me borrow their IS250 loaner for a weekend, I found the IS250 to be quite smooth actually... Despite having 100hp less than my IS350, I think it's a great bargain for its price and refinement.
