When Lexus says "starting at 29,000" you don't even have leather seats.

RWD w/ tiny trunk >>>> FWD with ginormous trunk
The rest is subjective, IMO, the trunk is big enough, the interior isn't cramped at all, the guages being ugly and the styling being dated is an opinion (imo, the IS300 still looks better than the TSX).
The only complaint I have about the IS300 is the taillights.

If so he is local to me :chuckles:
Josh S. used to co-drive that car. I believe he won nationals 2-4 times but I don't remember what years or what class.
nevermind that car is in DS not DSP unless they moved up this year.
