Wow, its been some time since I posted. I have had my 06 IS350 on lease extend, wanted to see the 350C. Love the IS, but to lease the same car again, well...its like dating your ex's twin IMHO. Had a black on black put aside, finally went and saw the car. Really is a nice car, the back is a bit tall....its surprising too, how high an open door is, def. not the same as the sedan. Anyways, it came down to price, got a great deal on the car. Not sure, not doubting either....$943 and $5000 over list sound high, but they are going for list. Dealer has already sold 4 of them. The SC is dead as of Wed, so they are going to be selling the IS in terms of the SC's market. I pick the car up next Thursday, I am trying to have the IS-F springs put on the car prior to picking it up....the wheel gap seemed way more exaggerated than on the sedan. I am happy I am staying with Lexus, and I have loved every minute of the sedan. If they had a coupe I would prob get that. Something different, yet the same, but def. excited to pick the car up.

May I ask if you ended up leasing yours?
