the current gen IS's are overrated in my opinion. For a luxury car, its not really that luxurious. Doesnt really drive well, leather isnt high quality, power is lacking in the 250, and the interior feels cheap for a luxury car

I would try to scoop up an IS300, those are nicer.

Keep the fit and have it dyno matted it will cut down on all the noise and will definitely give you the feel your looking for. On top of that you can get the doors and headliner upholstered if you want some more change. The economy's down. Keep the fit!

Here is a picture of my 09 IS interior to remind you how nice and comfy it is.

Better get an IS350 if you're getting it, IS250 is too slow. It cant keep up with my Fit lol. I think the IS is cramped inside as well. I would never trade my Fit for that car. Theres a TON of them everywhere and I get tired of seeing it sometimes.

Yeah I figured it was his car. I've seen the pics before on clublexus, but I couldn't remember who owned it.

toyota's just dont drive all that fun, especially the lexus line up. it's a great car for someone that's really not into cars but enjoy quality like my retired pops...he has a new RX hybrid and has owned lexus since the day they released the LS. not driven any of the modded Lexus so not sure about those, but i would take infiniti or bmw over lexus.

yeah i think i'm just gonna keep the fit for now, i forgot how useful cargo mattered till last night... had to haul 2 huge speakers and an old receiver... boy im glad there is such thing as "tall mode". I completely agree with you, at least on the IS250, i dunno about the IS300, the car just didn't feel "pure". It really tries to make driving dainty and less fun/connected. But if i happen to run across a SportCross IS... i'm definitely gonna have to check that one out. I'm pretty sure the 300s will be MUCH more of a drivers car.
