Not only this, but when it rains or you wash the car and open the door, water always drips down on the bottom of the seat cushion. None of my other cars have done this. Looks like water collects on a weather seal and then falls straight down once the door opens. Bad design.

Entirely possible. I wouldn't be surprised of the 2IS turns into the equivalent of the BMW's E46 generation - a timeless classic that many over on the BMW side still consider one of the most beautiful (if not the most beautiful) BMW ever made.

The hordes of IS250s I see on the road on a daily basis. Chances are, 9 out of 10 ISx50s you run into will be a 250.
With the number of entry-level IS250s on the road, the IS line loses a lot of its perceived performance/exclusivity image Lexus tries to establish with its marketing to the general public compared to other vehicles like the GS and LS. The car seems like it is almost as common as the Ford Mustangs on the road. I see FAR less G37s on the road than I do ISx50s due to the 250 factor...the ratio of G37s to IS350s seems fairly even from what I've personally seen (no supporting data to verify this). Sorry in advance 250 owners, it's not your fault that the 250 is in such high demand compared to the IS350/IS-F...
Other than that rant, my pet peeves of the IS is the lack of tuning options (especially compared to the 335), lack of manual option, and the soft stock suspension system.

Six months and I havent seen a single one! (But, I never payed attention before I actually owned one)
