It's a brand new Lexus IS220d, dark blue metallic and optional rims.
here she is:

I really like this car, lots of nice touches, even without the much much much more expensive SE interior.​
 
Aaaand once again. Toyota gives the US the sort end of the stick when it comes to engines. Nice car!
 
thanks guys, i love the interior touches, like the handles to grab when exiting the car are a nice design, where you grab and the slide downwards
 
Very loverly. :)👍 That’s one of my favorite car designs out right now.
 
Ah man, that's a lovely car :cheers:

Agreed with Sage, one of the more sexy looking cars right now, enjoy it and treat it right ;)👍
 
Great car, enjoy it. We couldn't afford anything as nice as that beautiful thing. Have fun with it!
 
Very nice car although that doesn't look dark blue. Looks like black or close to it. I like the design of those cars. I really need a new car. Mind buying me one CCX? :D
 
You would prefer an underpowered diesel to the monster 306-horsepower 3.5-liter V6?

:D

I'd rather have the 220d than some hyper expensive "IS400h"

Also that 6 makes it almost better than the 335i.
 
Is such a product going to exist? That'd be cool - that engine produces nearly 340 horsepower in the GS!

Speculation on my part, because the GS 350 -> GS450h

And since the IS is below the GS, and they always seem to be a "clean sounding" number; IS400h.







Nope, because you can't get the IS in a coupe, and the IS is Japanese.

That's also a good thing though. But once there is an IS coupe.... The IS wins.
 
Nice car, CCX. To be completely honest, I wasn't even aware that the IS was offered with anything but the 2.5L and 3.5L petrol engines. :lol: I just never looked into it.

At least the diesel has a manual transmission. Not that you care.

Yeah - but no other sport sedans have hybrid variants. I'd be surprised if they did it. What sport sedan driver wants to save the environment?!

Yeah, one of the reasons the 3-series will never really be toppled is its competitors lack of bodystyles. Mercedes has no coupe or convertible, Audi has no coupe, Lexus has no coupe, convertible, or wagon, Infiniti has no convertible or wagon - and not only that but BMW offers multiple drivetrains and several engines... and a performance model...
 
its bigger than it looks on there, but it isnt huge :(
