this car is truly amazing, we have one and it is extremely comfy and has NEVER had any problems at all, not even tiny ones. also, when your in the car it feels so much faster than it says.
The U.S. television commercial is so utterly annoying. I know the ISF is suppose to be the "bad boy" of the Lexus lineup but the commercial really doesn't sell it.
It's just annoying.
I'm sure it's quite fast but it pales in comparison to the ///M3 or C63 ///AMG.
I believe the "F" stands for fugly since it's one of the ugliest font choices for a badge.
The ISF itself has a few more curves than the usual bland Lexus but it's still too plain IMO.
a year ago today i used to take the bus and metro(subway)to school, since then i graduated from university, got a good job, and finally got myself my BELOVED smokey granite mica is 250!
today I was going car shopping and my choices were: '08 Honda Accord coupe v6, '07 Infiniti G35 coupe, '05 Porsche Boxster(I personally hated this one), and '08 Lexus IS250. Yep you guessed it, I'm definitely getting the IS250. It is so much fun to drive and the interior is so well done. There is as much luxury as there power.
Nice choice! Though I own an IS250, and I have to say there is about 10 times more luxury than power hahaha
Not a slow car, but by no means fast. Oh, and for the love of God avoid the tires that come on the 17" wheels! They are JUNK. If you can, get one of the 18" options available.
@g3nuwine i know people that drive nice cars and have a lot of money, they stopped 2nd year of high school, then you got the phd professor in a tercel
The new IS design is sort of odd to me. Sometimes it looks stunning and sometimes its like nah. I dont know why but I like the design of the first generation alittle more. Im glad the IS is growing up though. I wonder if the 3rd gen IS will continue this trend or continue its roots. I wonder what most people would want. 3rd gen based on 1st or 2nd gen?
We have a lexus culture here at our company, 3 IS series. No bad cars at all, but the front grill really really reminds me of 1970s Japanese Giant Robots. (the bad robots).
dont mind all the dumb ass kids here posting the 250 is garbage. Once they reach maturity, (if they ever do) they will all do what I did: sell my Nissan 350Z and get a Lexus IS250. Sure, you can beat me with your faster car, but I'd still be the one laughing in the end when we're looking at quality/cost/gas price.
i am also a lexus/japanese car fan, to be honest the IS 350 is better than the IS 250, i heard the IS 250 is a bad news bcoz of its handling responsivity and roading wasnt as good as the 3-series. now the IS 350 this year the handling and roading is more refined, 306 bhp 0-62.5mph in 4.0 sec hopefully im gona get my IS 350 soon ^_^
He thinks a car is all about horsepower, also your suppose to be WITH the japanese culture son, not against it, but honda s2000 good car, different category.
japtraplex you are so ignorant every little lexus vid you flame? why is that? just keep it to your self. Oh and FYI if your gonna bash atleast get your facts right the new IS is not a altezza the altezza is dead, the new IS is not badged but rather as a lexus everywhere
how come i dont see you commenting the 700hp IS wanna call that slow?
Theres a 700hp IS? Isn't the 350 the most powerful one they make with like 300hp? This was actually the car I really wanted but due to the high cost especially since its new so you can't find one used, I had to settle with an RSX-s. But now the car I REALLY want is the new twin turbo BMW 335!
Well many people underesitmate japanese machines. THe market will not drop the very expnesive engine on the cars sicne the car itself with a decent-above decent engine is pretty pricey. This is how Mustangs/Corvettes get smoked, when japanese cars unleash their true power with the right equipment they were neglected with. 4GRFSE is talking about the 1st generation IS300, im assuming, because that car can be dropped with a N/A Supra engine and smoke...
Who is this kid talking to? Learn to read English before you start disrespecting and making foolish comments about other people junior. Rascist? OMG just another ignorant fool who dosen't know proper English, how was I rascist? READ THE COMMENT I WROTE DOWN JACKASS LMFAO
I own the higher class Lexus GS450h. I wished i got the IS then the GS450h. the GS450h is sooo boring sooo dull so blaned sooooo WHITE thats why you guys made a smarter chocie
Thanks for the input bro, now I can counter argue with people who tell other people "ohh go GS" when the IS is more suitable for sportscar enthusiasts.
I just got one and I have to say it is the best car I have ever owned. AWD is awesome for winter months but I don't know yet as I just got it last month. Its an incredible machine and yeah its not cheap but you get what you pay for. I saved up a long time to get a car like this. I deserve it damn it! LOL! But it is kinda bummy when people think its a 2006 Hyundai Sonata or 2007 Toyota Camry!?!?!?!??!?! haha oh well.
