I "used" to have WORKS old car

He does actually. He puts his C230 that he is trying to sell in the garage.

If it were me, I'd keep the new Lexus in the garage.

Plus he has to shuffle them around the driveway with his wife's 4Runner and daughter's Scion.

why not get the VZ HSV R8 wheels? they look similar. (better, IMHO):

the 19s that come on the new Infinity M45 are hot too i think..

I like that car a whole lot, actually was thinking of getting the is350 as a replacement for my 540i but went with the BOM goat instead and couldn't be happier (and faster).:gears:

Damn those look nice on there, I don't know if it's combined with the color of the goat or what but yes nice.

Co-worker has one of the first IS350's delivered (Nav, backup camera, Bluetooth, loaded). Very nice car, a little cramped in back. He came out of an IS300 and you're right, there is a huge night-and-day difference between the vehicles... his only complaints with his IS350 are the XM antenna (went with a sharkfin for '07) and the amount of brake dust on his rims (I Z-2'd them for him)...

I used to have an RX300 and sometimes got IS300 as a loaner when my RX was in service.

I was not very impressed with the IS300. I also had an Acura TL-S at that time and IS300 was kind of immature and not sophisicated compared to even the spartan TL-S. But it wansn't bad.

Now the IS250/350 - WOW! Although they could use some more horsepower, especially the 250 one.

Are they actually going to do it? There have been rumors about a V8 IS since the original IS300 was released and nothing happened.

Yep, do a search for it they showed a "test mule" with BBS mesh wheels quad exhaust in the IS350 shell


And yeah I used to own an IS300 I remember RMM and Foose's vision was sweet

I think there were test mules with a V8 IS300 too, and nothing happened.

there is reasoning behind it


the IS body/chassis and motor was getting killed when Lexus was getting launched in Japan so there is the reason.

Also the names just got a copyright and TM last year by ta da Toyota japan
