The IS model first appeared back in 1999 when Lexus needed a sports compact luxury sedan for its line up. At the time they only had 6 models, the ES, which was a rebadged Toyota Camry, the GS, LS, SC, RX, and the LX SUV, which was also a rebadge Toyota Land Cruiser. So in order to save on costs, they once again rebadged their Japanese Altezza model into the IS300 for the American market. A great sporty car with great potential, but not necessarily very luxurious (I can attest to that as I had a 2002 IS300 in yellow). During the early 2000’s, Lexus was going thru a global reorganization and separation from its parent company Toyota, which completed in 2005, right before the launch of the second-generation IS line up. During this reorg and transformation, Lexus started to change their design language and needed a more luxurious sports compact sedan. And so, they came up with this! Offered as a 2006 model, buyers here in the US could choose from the IS250 and the IS350 variants.
This specific model has a 2.5 liter V6 engine producing 206 Horsepower and 186 Foot-pounds of torque thanks to direct-port fuel injection and variable valve timing.
