IS 250 Review in LA Times

Good review of the IS .... gives it an overrall A- or B+, with the clear indication that this is no BMW. No mention of the G as a competitor, but that's okay, it still interested me as a G owner to see somebody's take on the IS. Comfy, quiet, and a techies dream, it definitely is meant to isolate you from the driving experience much more than a 3 or G.
Some vital stats include:
- 0-60 of the IS250 with 6MT is 7.9 seconds (ouch!)
- Base price of $29.9, as tested of $38.7K (double-ouch!)
