[@guyva_unito_sree3]

I think I like it. toyota is the best because reliability, even if the competition has something better performing. reliability is the ultimate performance to me anyway. who wants to throw money at cars that can't be passed down.

[@kb0x]

I like it, but plz ad a turbo because it needs more horsepower. Other than that, I like it!

[@guyva_unito_sree3]

@@kb0x the germans are happy to give you turbos so your engine lasts 100 000km so go buy one and another and another and the cheap plastic that costs a lot when it breaks. plastic camshaft housings from benz.

Beautiful car and I do love mine…now imagine this vehicle with panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, F Sport Stamped front seats, power rear view mirrors, HUD, phone charger, Mark Levinson audio/Triple LED Headlights on all models, new infotainment (NX)….that would have been a Lexurious launch for the IS 500/350 in 2022! Thanks for a great review!

[@molon___labe]

I absolutely love the look inside and out of the IS series BUT we need something with more performances in the 350. Yes the 3.5 is a great engine but we’ve had it for almost 18 years now.

[@guyva_unito_sree3]

stick your own turbo in it and youll have the power and reliability of a german car

[@molon___labe]

@@guyva_unito_sree3 I agree with that however it’s very expensive to turbo your car the RIGHT way. It’s not just the turbo it’s tuning and dynoing and the list goes on.

[@guyva_unito_sree3]

Since it’s inception, the Lexus IS has been a legendary lineup that refreshed the sport sedan segment. This latest generation gives me goosebumps as I recall seeing the first generation of IS300’s paint the streets back in 2001. Good stuff, Lexus.

[@Eternalmotors]

Lexus is too comfortable without innovation now a days... these external changes are just masking the much needed interior and engine update. The competition has showed you can have both luxury AND performance. This is a good first step in the right direction (especially with that touch screen), but Lexus needs to do more.

[@jsiszero]

They make more in SUV sales

[@scoop2059]

@@jsiszero and have u seen their SUV’s and interiors? Those interiors are way behind as well lol

[@cybertron1000s]

Lexus doesn't want to deal with the unreliabilities of new engine platforms. Beemer and Mercedes couldn't care less.

[@LuSt4boost]

@@cybertron1000s Lexus has never made an unreliable engine. The 2nd gen ISF is the most reliable highpowered compact in it’s class and it had a 425hp V8. Owners are getting 200k and 300k miles out of their ISFs without any issues. Lexus could if they wanted to. They just don’t want to.

[@Eternalmotors]

@@cybertron1000s I'm sure Lexus can figure out a way to get more horsepower while still being reliable. They already did it in the old IS-F and current LS/LC/RCF, etc. Hoping the IS500 they just patented will close this gap. Acura TLX Type-S coming out in the upcoming spring too.

[@kirk2846]

For people complaining, the V6 is time tested and proven tech, providing confidence and reliabilty. The power output is just fine, my 13 GS350 AWD is plenty fast, and im coming from an 08 ISF and currently a FBO track built G37S. The only concern i would have is if the 8 speed is as docile as people have claimed. If it were to be identical to the ISF 8 speed shifting it would be just fine. I get this doesnt have the power of its competitors but this is just enough to feel a good surge of power when you need to step on it. Its an automatic anyway who cares. Otherwise go buy something with more power and less reliabilty. I have full peace of mind with the offering once the transmission is confirmed to perform as needed. Price tag wise, I dont buy new cars and I think any new car is overpriced. This is perfect for me when I buy it preowned. I know it has a tried and true powertrain/drivetrain, and the interior is absolutely beautiful, I dont know what everyone is comparing it to, most new cars have horrid interior design. Lexus has symmetry, quality materials and a timeless design through and through.

[@DefinitelyNotEmma]

Funnily people complain about nearly anything that makes Lexus so reliable. If they had a wagon I would definitely change the E63s from my dad for one

[@bryans2790]

You would build more Lexus character if you invested in new engines than a racetrack at $2.8B. What a wasted opportunity

[@frank_5889]

3.5 V6 is the best one on the market I think, turbo I4 would do great for the first couple years and then becomes an endless money pit.

[@donl7737]

I'm glad that "all new" is not mentioned anywhere. Because it's not.

[@timw2083]

This refresh looks amazing. The IS350 seems to be a competent car. I would love to have an IS500 next to the LC500

[@pescitheman]

Lexus did an amazing enhancement to the latest IS series. It's aggravating to read comments that express grave disappointment to the style on the outside and inside of the new updated IS. The style changes and engineering performance is 'spot on'. Subtle changes are a reflection of a manufacturer's education and experience in the auto industry. If the design and performance are reliable and efficient for the general public for years, then why re-write it? Believe me...I'll take Lexus' approach to this new design any day, then to take in consideration of a person commenting on how bad it is and what it's lacking. They're most likely eating Doritos and playing PS4 in their parent's basement anyways.

[@mrsj1417]

There are no measurable improvements to the car compared to last year. A strut here, a wheel there - that is nothing. I could still use my CD player from 20 years ago too, that doesn't mean there aren't newer, more preferred ways of doing things. I own a Lexus and like it, but let's call this what it is: a snow job.

[@jsiszero]

You must be delusional because you haven't taken a look at the competition

[@pescitheman]

@@jsiszero Delusional? I'm not talking about the competition, I'm focusing at the latest improvements to the Lexus IS model and how it has climbed to this latest design. Perhaps delusional should be in regards to your ability to assess a comment and heed the core of it's context.

[@roccol5360]

Perfectly stated my friend! I just picked up a ‘22 and I absolutely love this car!

[@gregwiens35]

Plan and simple. Lexus is not going to invest money in major changes to any sedans if people aren't buying them. I have a 2016 IS 350 fsport and although I appreciate other manufacturers upscaled info-tech and turbos, I'll always trust the Lexus will perform the same way every time, every day, without fear of mechanical failure. I'm considering this again. It feels "right". This was made more clear after I test drove an AMG A35 today and couldn't get over the cheap plastic squeaks on the console, the rattling spoiler over bumps, and nervousness of pushing it too much. Good job Lexus. It's a looker of a car, and enough power for "most people's daily driving.

[@muthukumaranc]

Just the right amount of power for everyday use! Such an amazing car! Especially these days manufacturers forgetting connection between driver and the car lexus seems to have considered it a lot! Hope the is350 f sport launches in India

[@guyva_unito_sree3]

finally someone not crying about more power. just buy a bmw if you want power and a 100 000km lifespan and tons of other malfunctions

[@robstone9667]

@@guyva_unito_sree3 fr this is the perfect daily car, if you want a car for stats just get a different car like a German or infinity but I promise you’ll be in the shop 3 times before you take this car to the shop once.😂I don’t even care that these aren’t the fastest but just the look and feel of it is something else.

[@aritruths1452]

I agree everyone keep asking for more power but when its added at a cost they will yet complain about the price. Nowadays you barely can use all that power on these crowded roads. All I see is window shopping horsepower junkies as many cant even afford a Toyota Tercel.

Does the 2021 Lexus RC have these same engineering improvements as the 2021 IS ?

[@komradkolonel]

I was thinking that since the GS has been dropped, maybe take the IS, stretch it say three inches, and make a new GS out of that. That would be a lot more cost effective than designing and building an entirely new platform for the GS. I'm well over 6' tall so the IS is a little tight for me where the GS offered more room. The GS was a really good step between the IS and the LS.

[@iheartgs400]

It’s double edge sword for Lexus to maintain the 2GR motor, I have it on my 08 GS350 it’s got enough DD power for most folks. At least its comforting I can confidently pick up a used IS/GS350 with the familiar powertrain.
