Is that trunk spec - 310L - right? If so, that is tiny. I know the ATS is smaller yet, but aren't the 3-series and A4 well over 400L now?
I still like the IS, but does anyone else question putting the top-line "sports" features on the middling (or base) trims? I get that Lexus makes more money by "F-sporting" everything, and more choice is better for the consumer and all, but putting an aero kit and 18" staggered tires (with 40/35 aspect ratio!) on the relatively unsporting IS300 seems odd to me. Not only because it doesn't suit the character of the car (in this trim, not a burner or canyon carver), but because it kinda dilutes the exclusivity and specialness of the top dog RWD IS350 - which is a true sports sedan.
But I realise every MNFR will tart up ANY vehicle, because consumers demand it and it'll makes them a few extra bucks...
