Having said that, My wifes RX330 was in the shop earlier this week and we had an IS250AWD for a loaner to tool around for a day. My impressions - Good, solid little car with good handling and decent pickup. My only complaint was: Interior was very tight. I'm not a tall guy - 5'10" and my head was scraping the headliner. Even setting the seat back and low, the driving posiiton seemed cramped and claustriphobic (Sp?)
Ya sure, I never am against the competitions, they are always good. But as a BMW owner, I just want to support the European automakers more.
