Default 92' SC400 to 08' IS350 to .... 10' IS350 *WITH PICS*

I'm baaaaack. Let me just say this. I test drove the 2010 G37s fully loaded about 5 times, and almost pulled the trigger on that car. I couldn't get myself to do it; car was amazing, but there was this tiny doubt in my mind that I wouldn't be happy. So, I'm back! Finalized my deal today to turn my lease in early and pickup a 2010 IS350. I've had great luck with JM in South Florida in the past, but found a better deal at North Miami Lexus.

Specs;

2010 IS350
White/Black
18" Wheels
High Intensity Lights
Lip Spoiler
Nav
Premium (dark gray wood)
Preferred Acessorry Package

Can't wait! Comes off the boat on Monday, picking it up no later than the 30th. Only mod's I'll do is a dark tint (20%), and some all weather mats. Pictures to come as soon as I take delivery.

yeah, sure is!

my 08 already has 44k on it, so it will be nice to get a new baby. that's why i like leasing, every 3 years i can switch out. also looking forward to seeing some of the new options with the nav, etc that the 2010 has to offer.

Thanks. Are you referring to the rear lip spoiler? Not sure what you're asking...

Nice car!

I get my new 250 from the dealer on Monday.

Just curious, what was it about the G37 that gave you doubt? In my case, gas mileage was a big consideration, which is really the main reason I ended up with a 250 instead of 350 and Infiniti doesnt really have a 250 competitor (I think they are coming out with G25 next year), but if I had been interested in the bigger engine, I would have also been considering a G37. I think it would have been a tough choice for me, that's why I ask.

Congrats on the purchase! I have the exact same car as you. I've had it six months now and the love hasn't faded one bit!

I was thinking very seriously about the G37 as well. I test drove it and came very close to closing a deal. On my way back from the Infiniti dealer I stopped by the Lex dealer just to "look" at the IS350 and was blown away. I really felt like I was comparing a porterhouse (G37) to chateau briand (IS 350). The quality difference is unreal.
