So how well does it drive in the snow?

I really wanted to get an IS350 but I live in Chicago and when it snows, I'm just too afraid to drive a RWD car. I wished there was a IS350awd or if they made the 250awd a little bit faster...

congrads, did you get that at Luxury Motor Sports? Looks like their plate frames.

Stop by the Chicago Section and make it to a meet in the future.

Just buy a set of snow tires and rims. A RWD car with snow tires will be better in the snow and ice than AWD with all-season tires. And many Lexus dealers store the tires and switch them out for you at no charge if you buy from them.

For 2009, the 18" wheels on the IS 350 in the Midwest come with all-season tires from the factory versus summer-only tires on the 2006-08 models. I'm not sure how much this helps in bad weather though.
