haha, it's "my car". Nice find.

He loved the "leather" seats. The Nuluxe is that convincing
He got the size of the trunk wrong @ 310L (it's around 400 L) though he probably got that from Lexus.ca or the brochures as it's a misprint there as well.
Agree with the smooth V6 and adequate power.
Agree with the ride - firm but excellent compromise for the rewards in handling.
Grainy/gavelly feeling when turning the steering? Must be the pavement...
Agree that the 350 is the hot rod but the 250 is no slouch either with top handling performance.

Overall great article and the "WAF" (Wife Acceptance Factor) scored high which means the ladies definitely love the looks of this car
