I really did not like the pics of the IS 350 when I first saw it, then a friend bought one and let me take it for a spin with him. The look grew on me, and the interior is gorgeous. The gauge cluster is amazing, I hope all cars move to this style someday. Car had good power and handled well, but it understeered like crazy, and this car is screaming for a 6 speed manual because the automatic (8 speed?) kept upshifting on me when I did not want it to, even in the sport mode settings.

All this said, congrats OP it is a gorgeous car and about as different as you can get from an FR-S.
