The 2012 Lexus IS 250: "Racecar"

The 2012 Lexus IS 250 knows precision backwards and forwards. And to prove it, Lexus challenged an IS driver to perform precision maneuvers in reverse gear.

I have to agree with the others. Even though this body style is 5 years old, it STILL remains the best looking in it's class.

Still the best lookin sedan in his class

@alitap only for luxury plus package

[808aaq]

I love this car! Even though mines a 08, it still has all the bells and whistles a luxury car should have. I enjoy driving this around my town and seeing all those kids who drive civics and jettas turn their heads when I come around! It's definitely a nice upgrade from my 05 Mazda 6! Thanks Lexus!

@maestroadam This ad is Brilliant, the Idea of a driver Navigating that well Backwards is extremely impressive, real or not. the designers behind this deserve an award.

@unlikeyou84 what about the is350 lol ?

[realchimera]

looks like 2011 not 2012

[Dermatrans]

Best car ever.

[unlikeyou84]

I have a IS 300 and do not like the IS 250... it's good looking but the driving style is completely different. The sight lines are cramped and it's not very fast. The IS 300 isn't terribly fast but the low end torque makes up for it.

When Lexus comes out with a new IS that is an improvement on the 300 in every way, I'll buy it.

[maestroadam]

wow what a terrible ad! The "backwards" motif was totally random and kind of stupid.

[S4udiGam3r]

Cadillac CTS 2012 is far way better, the IS it like a Camry.

[boovoo66]

yup slow slow slow..i had my 2006 is 250 for 5 years......and just not that fun to drive...but it was very reliable!!! ...

[two2tone]

is250 = slow p.o.s. I mean come on... you'd think with $30k... at least be a 14 sec car?... is350 all day!

[sdfasdfvccvvc]

Ahh, the Lexus... The car for people who hate to drive.

[ibee4u2luv]

@Kevin27182 That's what I was wondering too. Probably because it's easier to sell the 250 than the 350.

[ibee4u2luv]

@216robh Totally.  I didn't realize how old this body style is. But hot damn, she's still a looker.

[rivengle]

I loved the commercial. It shows off the physical capabilities of the car, as well as its power, without boldly saying it; they show it to you.

[Kevin27182]

Why isn't it the is350?

[Darkender1988]

Agreed! Best looking by far and one of the best performing for the best price! This model starts at a modest 32000

[TheJaimetexas]

i wonder how the next generation would look like?

[bclee56]

if I strike 1st prize lottery I will buy this car

keep my finger cross
