I think it’s extremely odd every time that one dude says: “Yes…but…” where the IS 500 is concerned.

Like we’re unable to make informed decisions. 😂

I’ve owned 4, now 5 Lexuses, I know what I’m buying.

…now back to our regularly scheduled programming of loving this car for what it was designed to be. 😎

I didn't get one with my Canadian LE.

With the 235 winter tires I have now, the under-tired problem is very apparent. I'm really looking forward to running the stock setup.

Who cares, V8 go VROOOOOM

Just out of curiosity, I don’t know if I’ve seen this before on the forum. For LE owners did y’all know your LE phone stand thingy is in your glovebox?

Made it home a few hours ago and the dudes met. 😎

First order of business was to get the 500 into the bath. The bug situation from the Arkansas Bogs were crucial! ::shudder::
