[quote name='Rich' date='Mar 21 2005, 01:06 PM']The new IS not only looks MUCH better than the E60, it also looks better than the E90 in my opinion.? We will have to wait to see how it drives.? And before I get a flag from the faithful, I own a manual 2001 5er and have owned two other 3's.? I'm in the market but I just can't warm up to the styling of the E60 or that stupid i-drive.? I am looking forward to driving the E90 AND the 06 IS when available.? Kudos to Lexus for designing a very handsome automobile!

Second..Looks much better? Ok will give it to you, I had to let the E60 grow on me too, but if you think that IS looks better then the E60 get your eyes checked.. The thing looks so cheap looking the older IS was much better..The E90 will have to grow on me as well theres some things about it that I like and some things I wonder what the hell what they were thinking but in no way do i see the IS being better then hte E60 or E90

[/quoteO.K. first off...This customer thinks it is stupid and I'm not alone in case you have missed any of the automotive press reviews. I'm not interested in the fact that Audi and Mercedes have/will folllow suit although I assume they will be simpler and more intuitive executions. After all, didn't BMW add real radio controls to the 7 refresh?
Second...Eye sight is fine but thanks for your concern. You wouldn't happen to be a proud owner of one of those beautiful E60's, would you? E90 certainly looks more pleasing than the E60 to these eyes as well but not as nice as the 06 IS.
Happy driving!

Next.. YES I would be a proud owner of one of these E60's as well as and E65 an E46 and used to be owner of and E39.. IMHO I prefer the E60 over the E39 (non M that is) any day.. yes you may have your opinion about the E60's, but to come into an E60 forum in which most of the people of not all enjoy their E60, would not think twice about a choice between the E60 and the new IS.. and since you think I am just saying I don't like the IS because I owned an E60 I actully asked one of my friends the other day who owns an IS which hes a pretty be lexus buff even said the new IS would not be one of his furture cars

Oh man all this arguing again!!!
The new IS is alright looking no way is it better than the E60. Dont think its any better than the E90 and I dont like the E90. not yet....
The new IS is waaaaaaaaaaaay too cheap looking. looks like a tC! it seiously looks like a "L" badged tC. I will not be caught driving that, no sir-ree. I rather take the old IS.
You dont like the looks of the E60 thats fine. We at least Hamann5 and I dont like the tC ops I mean Lexus IS... no big deal... but reguarding the iDrive... theres nothing bad about it. have you used it longer than 3 minutes? Theres nothing to set! Theres buttons for everything thats needed outside the iDrive. The ONLY thing really is the vents... but once you set that theres no need to change them. I dont see why you would want more air towards your feet one day and less air to the feet another... If you do then geee... sorry you got problems... Even ONCE in a while in the rare case that you do... setting it isnt hard at all...

It does remind me of a scion, but I think it looks good. Should definately be a better value than an e90.
Who cares what it looks like though. Many people said the e60 front looked like a pontiac, but that didn't bother me.

This is a nice looking car that will sell, toyota's are dependable and reasonably priced. But they are still not in the same catagory as BMW's.
