Lexus IS
Meet the IS, the Lexus family’s sport model. Its exterior is more aggressively-designed while its hourglass front grille is the hallmark of its visual signature. Its suspension has been redesigned for a sportier ride. The IS 250 and 250 TI are powered by a 2.5L 204-hp V6, while the 350, 350 TF and F Sport are equipped with a 3.5L 306-hp V6. Fair warning to the category’s best German cars: the IS is coming for you.
