I didn't think the IS350 an "old persons car" at all.  The chassis has tons of grip, the steering is good, and the limits of the car are very high.  I found it entertaining to drive - especially the V-6 - it's a very nice engine.  People grouse about it being old, but so what?  It was ahead of it's time when it was new and it's still a solid plant with great technology.  The power delivery is terrific.

True.  And it would be even better if Lexus would add a couple of snails to it.  Or make a new 3.0L version with a couple of snails.

Nah - in no time at all a sweet normally aspirated engine will be a thing of the past - I hope they stick around as long as possible - turbo options will be (and already are) literally everywhere.

Agreed.  I'd LOVE to see a new IS-F with the NA V8 from the GS-F.   Do it Lexus.

Wokeism is nothing more than the recognition and opposition of bigotry in all its forms.  Bigots are predictably triggered.

That 5.0 V8 is going to be everywhere in the Lexus lineup.  The next LS is an "LS500"  and it's going to be in the LC500 too. 

Why not throw it in the IS line?    :)
How fast is my 911?  Supras sh*t on on me all the time...in reverse..with blown turbos  :( ...

Love the colour too. Wasn't sure at first. Maybe too flashy but it looks amazing in the sun.
My wife wanted me to buy this one.





You can't go wrong. Any color is  :thumbup: Any plans for light modding?  Exhaust maybe?

Thinking of modding but I'm  leasing so don't want to spend too much on a car that may go back.   A nice exhaust would be cool though.

My IS350 sounded  :drool: with an intake and exhaust.  Only 2 mods I ever did.  And easily reversible.

Which exhaust did you go with.
