What are both girls and guys perspective if they saw a isx50 on the road and what are your views? LOL sorry for these wierd questions but im so excited!!
depending on your location,,if 2iS is very uncommon in your area, then yes it will be an eye candy/catchy
but in CA, THERE ARE TOOOOOO MANY 2iS so it doesn't really get any attention unless you do some mods to your car

you wanna make your car like that
put
rims
slam it
body kit
and you are SET ~!

As other people have mentioned, it depends where you live and how many IS's there are in the area. However, it's not like the IS sales number mimics a Honda Accord or anything.

Anyway, my car is pretty much stock, but it frequently turns heads.

I haven't noticed many Sport/X package models in the Phoenix area. My 350 with X package kind of sticks out IMO and it's only stock.

The next thing I need on it is a rear spoiler, makes the car look so much better IMO.

I think its the best looking car in class and yes modded, it looks great. I think the Caddy CTS does a good job grabbing attention in a different way than the IS, more aggresive with the SUV grill.

I think most of the people would give positive feedback on this topic bring this is an ISx50 forum. And yes, she looks sexier than my wife everytime I ride on her :P

A stock IS350 is about as interesting to me as a stock BMW 3-series - worth a glance, but not a lingering glance.
Agreed... awd especially sits too high imo...

I agree. However the 2 door 3-series is DEAD SEXY. The ISC can't even compare...

btw I never noticed how many 2ISs are in Socal until I got mine a month ago. They really are EVERYWHERE.

Thats totally how I felt! Someone did came to my car and told me that "apple red' is nice, and I replied "Its a Matador Red!"

Totally agree, it all depends where you live. In L.A., not too much because they are so common.
But what I do find is color makes a big difference. I am getting more looks and comments with my Glacier Frost than I have ever had with any car I've owned. They don't care about the car, they care about the color! lol I never saw this coming when I made the purchase.

lol. I wish. Unfortunately, we've had a lot of California imports, so in addition to our property taxes doubling (due to demand) our roads are really (unnecessarily) crowded (with actual cars). ;-)

If I drove a tractor around, it would get some attention.
