Well, i can try... I did have a MY04 IS200 and i did love it. It was so balanced and it did have such a good steering feel... very fun and overall design was unique and stylish. Very good build quality and didn't have any problems. Performance was about the same as 320i. Engine was nice sounding and rev happy but it wasn't that good on fuel. Overall, it was maybe the best drivers car in it's class in that time. Good competitor for 320i for sure. IS250 is more numb, but it was still good and quite fun car to drive. IS350 with F-Sport performance parts does have impressive performance stats. Shame that they never bring it here so i haven't driven it..

Overall Lexus quality and design is unbeatable. Different series is meant to please different people. RX for soccer mom, GS for richer and older men and IS-series is for drivers car and so on.

And i agree, BMW 2-series is second most promising new car after GT86. I want to test drive when it arrives
