Damn, that's not bad. I like the wifes car, because it handles very well, and it's very comfortable, although I haven't driven an IS-350. I am partial to the Nissan brand.

you might want to check with sludging recalls on lexus' now a days, they used to have silent recalls on a lot of their vehicles because of bad sludging problems. . .a lot of motors had to be replaced at owners expense because they didn't want it to be public. . .i know cause we had to pay 12K for a customers motor even though they had a recall on them. . .lexus has been written off my vehicle list because of that. . .even though they probably fixed the problems by now, or not. . .
