Eh, I have no idea about the car, but the design in my opinion looks horrible. Looks just like a big, fat corolla.

I don't understand this thread. Why did the Op link to the Lexus IS?

The Cars of the year are the Veyron and the Toyota Argo.

Don't think I'll ever drive either.

The IS350 is an excellent car and after having test driven it, I want to go back to drive it again and plan to sometime this week, maybe Tuesday or Wednesday actually :)

It's probably the only automatic tranny I've liked so far even when compared to what the C55 AMG had! :Q

Wait. During the awards ceremony on the last episode of the TV season, the car of the year award was given to the Porsche 911. Jeremy disagreed and gave the award to the Aston AMV8.

Ahh, I do remember them reviewing what is the average Japanese car, and they seemed to think American cars were better.

I think a lot of people failed reading. It's the best executive car of the year.

I drive a BMW 328i SPORT and it is superb. Handling, ride (something Audi is truly aweful at) and performance are all top notch.

The Audi A4 is a good car don't get be wrong, I have test driven a couple but overall they lack that bit of sparkle that the BMW has.
