According to http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2...03/002900.html Lexus sold 13,165 IS's between the month's of Jan and March of this year. That's about 4300 cars per month.

"Lexus passenger cars experienced best-ever March sales of 13,798 units, an increase of 9 percent. The IS luxury sport sedans reported an all-time best-ever sales month of 5,210 units, a 1086.8 percent increase over last March. The IS 250 reported sales of 3,821, with the IS 350 recording 1,389 units."

I actually was going to buy one, but they have no back seats whatsoever. Their back seats are even smaller than the BMW 3 Series.

when i went to test drive a GX470, there were no IS350's to be seen, was told they were not arriving until mid May.

Really? That's wierd. Maybe they meant that they wouldn't have any in that were not pre-ordered until May. Or maybe they lied because they wanted you to concentrate on purchasing the GX instead of waiting for a car that was not in stock.

I have seen a few IS350 in lower westchester.

I'd buy another Acura in a heartbeat. I've owned two and love my '04 TL immensely.

As far as the new IS....no thanks, its backseat is meant for children and midgets.

nah, i was on the lot and just asked some sales wheenie "when do you get the IS350's in?", he had no clue why i was there.

I love my '04 Tl but when my lease is up, Im going for a BMW. 5 Series at least if not the M5. We will see. Im ready for a higher class and the RL does not cut it for me. Its ugly. If it were nicer, I would have gotten it instead of my TL!

i didnt spend enough time to read all post but in my mind. a first car and a good 4banger. nothin beats acura/honda. face it. i have a stock 96 teg ls not vtec. i have out run jettas, golfs, probes, neons, and wat else. cars that are on there base trim the teg will own. unlike the s2g of course its world record breaking power like 100 hp for ever cylinder. NA POWER. or is it 120 hp per cylinder. i would buy another acura no doubt. but i want an allwheel drive turbo also. now dodge, chevy, and wat not are makin 4 bangers. but they are boostin them to keep up with the rsx power. srt turbocharged, cobalt ss (i think its the ss) is supercharged.

I'm on my third Acura.

'93 Vigor - Bought new (was really a demo) traded in with 111K miles
'01 TL - bought new traded in with 80K miles
'06 RL - Just bought new

I think that says it all.

Old white dudes? Now that's a backhanded compliment if I ever heard one.


Oh yeah, I'm white.... and... um... I guess old.

Yeah...and at least I can write a comprehensible sentence using English as it was tought to me in school. This is a web forum, save the "iSpeak" (as I call it) for the chat rooms and text messaging. Thank you and have a nice day.

Most car bumpers do not match panels due to other processes the paint is applied. Infiniti is one of the worst in this area for matching.

I had a 2nd gen with 4 trannys and I was treated like crap when I complained and they wouldnt do anything for me so I had to hire a lawyer to have it lemoned. Now with my 3rd gen and the bumpers not matching, the tires wearing out with 18k miles and a ton of rattles that they dealer cant fix.

I may reconsider if Acura starts offering more option like rwd or awd and there service and quality improves.
