Wow... no offense OP, but you sound rather arrogant coming off with a post like that.
Of coarse the IS350 is going to be better than IS250 because it costs more for a reason AND it is a higher line. Pointless thread... It's like me comparing my car to a Toyota Corolla.
It's just like me saying that an IS350 sucks compared to an IS-F.
Let's keep IS250 bashing down ok...
It depends on what your prefer... I like my IS250 as a daily driver. I don't care much for speed. For practical driving purpose, it's still a world faster than a Corolla, Civic, Sentra, Mirage, you name it. At least I am getting 27 MPG on City Driving and that's why I'm glad I got it. Especially with gas prices rising up

I'm with you Shadowman, strange post, the 250 and 350 are the exact same car sans engine/brakes. Perhaps the OP is comparing a base car with his Nav/Lux package car? Sure, the 350 is a very fast car, everyone here on the IS boards is well aware of this fact, it's not news. But, the 250 is not some lethargic turd that can't get out of it's own way - it has plenty of power for every day driving and is a lot of fun when pushed.
As for the design element changes between the years, well, to each is own. I do like the newer generation NAV and the USB interface on the newer cars, although, I prefer the older red maple wood trim to the black wood.
Let's just remember that we're all on the same team here

Why so many 350 is better than 250 threads? Pretty sure we all know how much faster the 350 is my guess is thats the reason why 350 owners got that over a 250 in the first place. The interior design is obviously a preference thing and I personally like the newer wood and slight interior changes. All of the woods look good to me. I actually thinking about purchasing the older red wood later
