For sure BMW, Infiniti and M-B are not too worried .... some recent articles peg the IS250/350 sales at well below what Lexus was hoping for.
 
I'm on my second IS now and really enjoy it but there are enough minor issues with this second gen design that will keep it from the top spot. BMW 3 series is #1 for sure, and i think the Infinity G35 sales will be much higher.

Granted by rockshocka1

That the local Lexus dealer had 0 sport models on the lot, but when test driving a 350 (as well as an RX), the salesman made it clear that the drive would be up and down highway 17, which is straight as an arrow. He was none to receptive to my requests to try on ramps or curvy roads. High School was a long time ago, what gives?

Depends i guess .... my lexus dealer gave me the keys and asked that i have it back within an hour .... put about 30 miles on it i imagine. This was my second IS from them though.

IS250 Torque Curve by jo1to6
Jul 06, 2007 (7:00 pm)

Does anyone happen to know where I can find the torque curve of the IS250? I am curious to know what the torque is like at lower RPMs... During my test drive, the IS250 seemed a bit lacking in that respect.
 
Also, I didn't happen to notice if there was a sport button on the car. Is there one? And if so, does it make a difference?
 
Thanks!

Ventilated seats by taruky

Can someone tell me what I'm supposed to notice with the ventilated seats. While driving today I turned on the empty passenger seat ventilation (set it to 3) and after a few minutes I reached over to touch the seat and it felt hotter. I had it on on my side too and my back was sweating just like in any other car, maybe more. Granted it was a blistering day today, but...Where does the air come from? The engine? Outside? Is it even cooled? If I put my hand on the seat, should I feel air flow?
 
Just wondering if it's working correctly in my car.
 
Thanks.

You did slide it to the Blue side .... not the Red, right? Mine seems to cool and/or heat fine!!!

Yeah, definitely they were the blue 1,2, and 3's (lol). I had the Lexus dealer look at it and they said it was working correctly. I guess the function may not be what I was expecting.

.... mind you, i only really notice the coolness if wearing shorts.
 
Women are so much more sensitive. Have your girlfriend/wife drive around naked for an hour and see if she can tell the difference!

Rattling Noise by louiswei

I've just noticed rattling noise coming from driver side B Arm while driving through uneven pavement and speed bumps. Does anyone here has the similar experience?
 
I'll let the dealer check it out during the upcoming 20K maintenance anyway but just curious to see what's causing the noise.
