    I resent using the term "Fancy Toyota" on the IS, GS and LS.


    They're not shared platforms and not sold as Toyotas at all, therefore they are rightfully Lexi.


    You can call an ES a Fancy Camry all day and night and a GX a badge-engineerd Land Cruiser, and the RX a fancy Venza since it's built on Camry Architecture (I hate the RX-class, I really do).


    Like it or not, the IS, GS and LS are rear-drive and have the option of a big motor. So hey, F-sport parts are fine, if not stupidly pricey.


    On a sidenote, I wonder just how much they're going to gouge the 25-year old bank employees that usually drive the IS and hot it up for that silly (and pointless) engine cover?

    Do not hate on the lexus, sure the new convertible is ugly but we rip it up in autocross. My IS300 is semi competetive in the class I'm in and my buddy in stock class on r-comps places first almost every event!


    We get many comments about racing our 'luxo barges' at many events.

    @reefer: A 2002+ IS300 with a five-speed and limited-slip is exactly what I want my next car to be. That thing handled more sharply than any car I've ever driven, from a sport-package G35 to an '09 Corvette.


    It's a shame the manual is only offered with the IS250 in the new generation. I'd love the 306 horsepower with one, and the new IS is quite a handsome car. That sharpness isn't really there, though, either.

    See, I read it as being a twin-turbo Fox-body convertible. And that would've been much cooler than this.


    And probably just as nice in the twisties.

    @Alfisted: YouTube videos can be embedded by simply cutting and pasting their url into your post, no special syntax required. I try to put them on their own line with a carriage return before and after it, just to be on the safe side...


    Now if only images were that simple!
