I think it looks a little too generic for my tastes. Now the G, thats one beautifully sculpted vehicle .

cmon guys, dont compare it to the coupe. we all know which car will turn more heads but for a sport sedan, its hot. better than the new 330 sedan imo.

I like it a lot actually I think if I was in the market for a sedan in the 30-40k range Id definetly give this a second look. I like the front of the car but I think the back is a little.. general? The dual exhaust looks very nice and the interior is nice too. The Speedometer and the Tachometer were better on the old IS300 IMO, this new one seems to be a hybrid of BMW and MBz. Overall I like the car and when I give my Coupe back in 3 years and will be searching for a sedan, It will definetly be something to consider.

Ps.. Gas Tank is on the left hand side so that means these guys will wait in longer lines to fill up gas.. Suckkkerss

Basically it's the new sporty hybrid model from Lexus. The LS500 GT (first photo) will have a 400 hp gas engine and a 200 hp electric power in addition, and the price will be about $100,000 when it hits USA in/on/around August 2006.
The Lexus GS350 GT (second photo) will have a 300 hp gasoline powered V6 (coop with Yamaha) with 170 hp electric power in addition. Also 4wd. The IS300 GT will have a 300 hp V6, a sequential 6-speed tranny, rear wheel drive. Also a hybrid RX400h will appear according to other internet sources...

Engine choices are: V6 205HP and V6 245HP

The IS250 actually has LESS HP than the current IS300.

It's not really gonna be a performer, it looks pretty heavy. I think the
G35 sedan will still outrun it.

I like the interior it looks real sharp, however, the car is not ugly, but looks nothing like a sports car.

I like the look of the Lexus. It's a sweet looking sedan and toyotas are always weel made with fine fitnfinish. However they rarely are fun to drive. More of a upsacle young family sedan.

Im pissed they got rid of the altezza lights, after all its a altezza I would take mine back over that thing any day, the first generation 2jzge motor can hold up a s*it load of horses and blow the doors off that is350..... I still miss mine...
