I thought I was in the EVO that's all.
The power isn't that bad, and the car is safer than the EVO.
Good luck...I heard Lexus dealers take good care of their customers especially when compared to Mitsubishi stealerships.

I really like lexus's but sadly if i want an is350, I have to import in form Japan and everything on the dash will be in Japanese including the satnav. Plus the 110mph speed limiter.
Apparently these new Lexuses have really trick limiters and HKS actually has a new computer - virtually a piggyback in complication - to override it.
Anyway, nice car dude.

A couple of years ago, I borrowed an LX lexus from my aunt and drove with a couple of friends along that highway in California that goes along the coast (101? 1? sorry can't remenber) and while having a bit of fun, I got the tracion control going. Now sliding the LX around a corner with an ocean to one side (on three wheels, in fact) is quite a thing, but the most frightening is that bloody chiming noise cos none of us knew what the hell it was and it just kept going. The car just bogged down a _lot_ and from how it felt made it more likely for us to end up in the ocean that without. A rather poor system indeed...

Incidentally she has the LS also, I can't imagine why she wouldn't let us borrow it
