Default New to CL: Picked up 2012 IS 250

Well I finally did it! Bought my first brand new car, Lexus IS 250. I'm 31 and finally decided to venture out of the Honda world. They were some good cars, but it was time to see what else was out there. I was leaning towards a used '08ish GS, but I had swore to myself that my next car would be a brand new car. It's dark out now, so I will post a pic of my new beauty tomorrow. Hope to learn everything there is about owning a Lexus!

Welcome, got mine about a month ago-love it. My other vehicle is a Ridgeline, both best in class in my view.

Congrats on the new car and welcome to CL and the IS community. You'll find that this forum is filled with great people with lots of knowledge about Lexus.

Was your previous Hondas heavily modified? If so, lets see some pics of your previous ride.

If you need anything, just ask or use the "search" button.

Post up some pics when you get the chance.

Thanks to everyone for their greetings!

Initial G: My recent 99 Civic Si was lightly modified. Just basic bolt ons. Had a AEM V2 cold-air intake, DC Header, Greddy Ti-C catback exhaust, CTR headlights, Red Recaro SRD seats, OEM optional rear lip and Eibach lowering springs. I will try and dig up some pics since I also just picked up a '27 iMac, so I gotta transfer all of my documents from my PC.

Again, thanks to all for the greetings!
