I really like their new designs - this one reminds me of an Acura TSX?

Totally agree that the 2006 design is leaps and bounds ahead of the old IS. Yes, I see a slight Acura TSX resemblance, too.
What really gets me going  is the 3.5L V6 w/ 306 hp and 0-60 time of 5.6 sec.

No 6-speed manual for the 3.5
It would take a lot for me to buy an automatic at my age. I guess I'll have to go drive it and see if its up to par  .
edit: Love this Sage Green

I love it!!! Good thing I do not finance cars or I may have already wandered into a Lexus dealer to put down a deposit.

Well, all right you can only get the sportiest one with an auto. I'm sure the typical lexus buyer won't care...

Ugly. Doors too big. It's gotten too big. Would choose a TL or TSX.
