I LOVE THOSE LIGHTS!!!
Nice car, man!

Nice consolation for the Z.

Funny thing that I actually considered the IS350 when shopping for a car. But in the end I wanted a more raw sports car. The IS is still nice though and I'll probably get one later one for the back seats.

Main reason for me to switch was the rear seats. The RAW power was why I switched from BMW in the first place, but don't mind being back in a bit more luxurious driving style

The Z was/is a awesome car, and everything has it's time, lets see what comes next, just had to promise my better half to keep it longer than the usual 2 to 3 Years, loosing so much money with every trade, maybe I should start leasing instead of buying

Very nice!!!

Jimbo370 · 08-08-2015, 08:49 PM

Not to be a Debby Downer here but...solid car. Can't go wrong. However, my friend bought one 8 months ago. I drive it often. Kind of work buddies. For the price, it's really underwhelming. I'm not a fan of the "only" red interior, seats are too firm. Back is adequate but not great. Performance is paltry for the price. It's noticeably slower than my 3.8, way slower than a 370. Steering is...lackadaisical. Tech is...sub par (for the price). That being said it's a very nice car. Just not $50k nice compared to, I'll say it, my $32k Genesis. I do like the looks. I do like the transmission, it's obvious it firms up in sport mode. Mine doesn't. I just expected more from it. But like I said it is a great car but....

Everyone has their opinion....no right or wrong in that. Personally, other than size, I wouldn't consider a genesis sedan over a Lexus IS (including the 250). And the Genesis is intended to compete with the LS not the IS, which again I think Lexus dominates in build quality and luxury

Well, I would certainly not buy the IS350, or any Lexus on power requirement. I did drive the genesis before purchasing the Z, and they are in the same class. The Lexus however, is in quality, fit and finish in a different league. You can't compare a sports sedan with a purposely build sports car, Apple to oranges.
