2007 Lexus IS 250 and IS 350 test drive
When the Lexus IS-series first appeared as a 2001 model, it was clearly a BMW 3-series knockoff right down to the inline 6-cyl engine and beautifully balanced handling. A 2006 redesign made the IS less BMW-like and more Lexus-like; 2007 brings few changes. I tested both models of the 2007 IS, the IS250 and IS350. They still appeal to people who buy BMWs -- but more to the people who buy them for their style than for their road manners. Tested by Aaron Gold, your Guide to Cars at About.com.

So how is Lexus' [i]grand dame[/i] of the folding-tin-top set holding up against its newer rivals? My wife Robin and I took the 2007 Lexus SC430 on a 1,500 mile road trip to find out.
