…you want a luxury-sports sedan with striking looks, great driving and nearly flawless reliability. You also haven’t been brainwashed into thinking a car must come from Europe to be fun to drive.
The IS sports some polarizing styling, and that means some people just think it’s ugly. There’s also the loyalty factor among European brands, and the fact that Lexus hasn’t been known for building truly sporty cars.
