Now here's a beautiful Lexus IS with custom paint!

That IS350 is the HAWTNESS!!!!! My favorite color too! Maybe im partial since a "similar" color to my Aegean Pearl Blue. God I wish I could afford one of those!
 
Looks good in person as there was an identical model at the LA Car Show. I think it would look more aggressive with another set of wheels.
 
They have this green. It's kind of like a split pea soup green, but is it ever good looking!



And that grille, aside from the surround and emblem, should be black. ;)
 
I like the color. I'm glad that blues are coming back into fashion. Did you read the comments?

How about the guy who said it was ugly but he like the styling of the new Mercedes S class.

Now the S class is one ugly ride. Those added on fender flares didn't look good on the Ford Focus five years ago, didn't look good on the Kia Rio and sure don't look good on the new S class.
 
love the car, but this is the blue I love.

The IS350 in that color blue is hotness :drool:



Not only do I think the new IS looks aggressive/sexy, but sitting in it was an absolute dream. To this day the most comfortable car i've ever sat in, or drove. I've always been a fan of the BMW 3 series, but I think i'd rather have the new IS350 over the new 3 series.
 
I looked at and test drove an (auto) IS250 recently. Probably not a fair comparo but it was just "ok" compared to my M3. Nice car, no doubt but at least with the auto no where nearly the sporty characcter of an M3, or even a 3301 W/sport package. I would compare it more to the Acura TL.

Should have taken the IS350 out for a spin. Huge difference between the two when I drove both of them. It was weird because the IS250 is AWD whereas the IS350 is RWD, and for some reason I felt like I had way more traction with the 350 than the 250. :think:
 
Weird thing is you can only get a stick in the IS250. I wanted to drive a stick car, but when I got there all they had was an auto, so I took it for a spin anyway. MAybe Ill drive the IS350 in the pring for the heck of it. But optioned out they are close to $50k!!!
 
Is the new IS still called the Toyota Altezza in Japan? If so, that's interesting, considering that car basically led to Americans coining the term "altezza" tail lights.
 
The new IS really is a different car from the first gen IS. I dunno about you guys, but the IS300 has a "sporty" feel to it. The new IS250/350 when I drove them just didn't have a sporty feeling. I haven't driven one with a sport package yet, but I assume it won't be that much sportier. Lexus pretty much shafted enthusiast with the new IS. On a sidenote, I think I'm going Audi as my IS replacement :D Wish I could afford an RS4 though.....maybe in 10 years.



I love this color, only available on RS models though.
