[Shotimes] OT Lexus IS 300

<<It's supposed to be their competition to the BMW 3-series.  Does that make
it their sports sedan?  I don't know, but I agree with you - it's a sharp
looking car but too small.  It even comes in a funky-looking "wagon" body
style called the SportCross.  In the European market they sell the IS 240,
the IS 300 was for the U.S.>>

I drove one recently.  It's an OK car.  Not as big or as driver-friendly as
the Acura TSX, though.  It's nearly as expensive as the Bimmer.
Toyota/Lexus just has a problem creating driver's cars.

It's supposed to be their competition to the BMW 3-series.  Does that
make it their sports sedan?  I don't know, but I agree with you - it's a
sharp looking car but too small.  It even comes in a funky-looking
"wagon" body style called the SportCross.  In the European market they
sell the IS 240, the IS 300 was for the U.S.

I saw some TV show where they took a 4.0 or 4.3 V-8 from the GS and put
it in the IS.
