I think only the automatic IS250 RWD has the image of being a chick car.

How does anyone know that you have a 250 RWD unless they are close enough to read the back of it. Strange question to ask: if you really like the car and are secure, do you really care what somebody else will think?? Not trying to incite but I had a BMW before and those folks think anyone driving a Lexus is a retiree and/or cannot be a true car enthusiast!

2009 Lexus IS 350 Coupe by duke15

I've tried the search function, but I can't seem to find any non-2005-2006 posts on this subject. Does anyone have any information on if/when the IS coupe is coming out? Edmunds' Inside Line Future Vehicle List states that an IS 350 Coupe is slated for release in the summer of 2008. Here is what they said:
 
What Edmunds.com Says:With a coupe and convertible in the IS lineup, Lexus will finally have some leverage against the almighty BMW 3 Series.
 
What We Know: The 2009 Lexus IS 350 coupe is one of those cars that we expected to show up years ago. It's no secret that Lexus was targeting the BMW 3 Series with the IS lineup, so the lack of a coupe variant has been a little surprising. Although no prototypes have been spotted yet, a report in the trade publication Automotive News says to expect to see the IS 350 coupe by mid-2008. A hardtop convertible is expected to follow a year later.

I am thinking about the Is 250, but concerned that I may be too tall. I am a tad bit under 6'3. Any help?

I am 6'1 with super long thighs and I can find a comfortable driving position in my IS350. However, if you are planning on putting people behind the driver seat in a regular basis then my suggestion is to look else where.

I'm 5-11 and find the leg room marginal. I'd strongly suggest you see your dealer for an extensive road test.

How is the manual? by chrishh

I love manuals and I saw that Lexus offers one in the base. I haven't started cruising dealer lots yet but was wondering people encountered them on the lots and if anyone here has one.

There are only automatic transmissions. I tried asking Lexus about the coupe version and they said something like "we have not publicized anything about a coupe version for 2009"

Availability of Model Year 2009 for IS 250/250 by epaiva

I can't seem to find any information about the release date and expected changes for the 2009 IS 250 / 350. I'm currently looking for a new 2008 but I was curious about the 2009 refresh.
 
Does anybody have any details to share? I'm surprised that this late there hasn't been any reviews or sneak pictures.
 
Thanks!
