2008 Lexus IS350
Lexus tried to play in this field when it introduced the IS 300 in 2001, but company officials readily admit that the first IS never delivered “a total Lexus experience.” However, according to Bob Carter, Lexus group vice president, the all-new 2006 Lexus IS 350 is meant to take “dead aim at setting a new standard of class-leading performance.” Click here to read more.. »
Lexus was smart about increasing the ES’s usability without making the car unwieldy. The new car hasn’t grown in overall length, but its wheelbase is up 2.2 inches (to 109.3 inches) over the previous ES.
The platform, which is tweaked in size rather than fully redesigned, has reduced overhangs and more space for the doors, which eases ingress and egress. Overall width is up only 0.39 inch while the track width increases by 1.2 inches, producing a proportionally larger footprint. These new dimensions put the ES securely in the realm of other midsize players like the Nissan Maxima, Saab 9-5 and Volvo S80. Click here to read more.. »
