I Want An IS300. . .

MTV · 10-18-2008, 11:41 AM

With a 2JZ-GTE....

oneshare325 · 10-18-2008, 12:02 PM

it is really old looking....

Year's_End · 10-18-2008, 12:45 PM

better than the IS350 that's for sure. just wish the taillights didn't look like that.

Bimmer007 · 10-18-2008, 12:45 PM

the back always reminded me of a civic (not the new one)

ska///235i · 10-18-2008, 12:48 PM

I'll still hit it

TiAg335i · 10-18-2008, 12:54 PM

Ugly...the IS350 was a step in the right direction. Was actually considering the IS350 instead of the 335i...the interior blows the 335i away. Seats are like BUTTER.

We definitely have the exact opposite tastes. Couldn't be any more opposite, haha. I think the interior is bland as hell and the outside looks like a melted soap bar.

i like the IS300 but none of the pics u posted are appealing to be honest. idk

+1. My friends IS250 has better interior than any BMW I've sat inside of. I'm seriously considering getting a Lexus if they make a better looking coupe.

sageashton · 10-18-2008, 02:55 PM

IS 350 = nice interior, decent speed, but a lax ride.

e90 = great ride, smooth engine and fun as hell when balls out. However the interior always seemed so 'dressed down' to me. Also, L7 is a far cry from what it should be.

Year's_End · 10-18-2008, 03:09 PM

Ok, here's some not-too-good comparison shots of the interiors. I'm not seeing how the IS350 has a better interior. It's so blobby and shapeless, and it seriously reminds me so much of Toyota (we had an old Landcruiser). I dunno, I just don't like crappy shifters and blobby shapes.

ScottyGams · 10-18-2008, 03:15 PM

i think the is300 still holds up pretty well. whenever I see one I go "what a nice looking car."

the new lexus has absolutely no fun DNA in its design. Reminds me too much of a suit.

em2b96p · 10-18-2008, 03:37 PM

i like the is300, i would deff put transparent red vinyl over the tails.

Inspired · 10-18-2008, 08:58 PM

IS350 interior tops 335i any day. lexus is way more reliable than 335. I had 2 recall problem on my 335 already. And stupid ass runflats had to be replaced in less than 15k miles. Is350 = true luxury car where as 335 = sports car with minimal luxury.

thank god my car is a lease...

+1,000,000 Lexus interior looks like crap.

How can you honestly say that after looking at those two pictures?

ScottyGams · 10-18-2008, 09:32 PM

you guys cheated and put a well equipped and loud 335 against a standard boring lexus.

I'm on your side, but the lexus insides feel more plush. I like the BMW interior because of its singular purpose... to be a cockpit. Lexus, like Mercedes design their interiors to be an escape

MTV · 10-18-2008, 10:02 PM

How did this turn into an IS350 Vs. 335i interior debate?
