Default Anyone else feel like their Air Conditioner sucks on their 06-08 IS 250?

Hey everyone, I have noticed that my air conditioner feels like a cold fan, if i blow the A/C at full blast away from me even for an hour i still feel warm, the only time I feel any cool air is when all three vents are actually blowing on me anyone else having this issue?

Works fine in the hot, humid climes of Texas. No complaints.

No complaints here
Lexus is known to have a powerful A/C system, and this is no exception

To echo the earlier responses, the A/C in my IS350 is awesome, the one in your IS250 probably has a refrigerant leak -- time for a trip to the dealer.
