Ah I know, only having you on. They're on a different level to Toyota.

Did you get an e28? It was my first BMW back in 2001. Some step up from a Micra I can tell ya! Love em. Still have mine but it's off the road since 2006 I think. Needs work now but I'll get to it at some stage!

The Mercedes after finishing the machine polishing this weekend. Car looks absolutely immaculate now. Car was washed, detarred, de-ironised, clayed. Then V32 compound was used before using V38 on a finishing pad. Waxed with finis wax to achieve a good mix of durability and gloss finish.
Delighted with it. - credit going to Quadrifoglio Verde and Ded Zebra without a doubt.0 -

cheers, yes its one of the best sound systems going. I had to bide my time to get a car in this spec with a ML. The sat nav was broken when I got it but I fixed that, saving about £3k in the process. I believe a complete head unit costs about that give or take.

Your IS has the same pedals as my celica going by your photo. I can see some other shared interior parts too, the bonnet pull for example.
The switchgear etc is all distinctly toyota-esque too. Not that that's a bad thing.
Obviously an IS is going to feel a little nicer than an avensis considering there is €15k minimum in the price, but lets not act like there is no connection

Even though Hachiko will stress they are made in different factories, Lexus and Toyota are very simular DNA wise;) Some Japanese market Toyotas where branded as Lexus in diffrent parts of the world.
This is why I like Lexus, its Toyota's luxery divsion. Toyota to me are Supra, Soarer, AE86, Celica GT4, Chaser, Mr2, Aristo, Crown. To others they are Corolla, Avensis, Yaris.0 -

The is250 is much better put together than any Celica, no disrespect at all, down to the solid door clunk and quality material used inside. The almost silence when driving is testament to all the insulation used in the cabin and engine bay (Toyotas wont have this attention to detail). I was startled from the sound of diesel cars after getting my car initially, no lie. The seats are top quality also.
As pointed out I was driving my brothers almost new Avensis and there is no hope I would ever swap that for a is250. its worth keeping in mind the is250 is just low end material for Lexus, the LS range really up the ante.
I did consider a few cars before I got this, I discounted all BMWs and AUDIs due to reliability/turbos and was considering a Legacy 3.0R but the lexus would be a more secluded and gadget orientated place for me and it had the ML unit also.
Its best to just drive a Lexus and Toyota and make your own mind up.
