I was looking on YouTube for something a little different from the bog standard 5 minute Auto Express or Autocar review and came across these US reviews which are very very long and detail nearly every feature of the car - wow: 2014 Lexus IS 250 Detailed Demo by Jim Sairoglou (31 min) 2014 Lexus IS 350 F Sport by Jim Sairoglou (16 min) and July 21st Lexus IS short highlight with testimonials (5 min) :D :D This might be old news: Reinventing the Lexus IS! - The Downshift Episode 48 - Interview with Lexus IS Chief Engineer (Our mission is to ovetake the BMW 3 Series as the -

Magazine Reviews For New Is300H/is250

This week's Auto Express has another Long Term test review with its IS300h. Next issue out Wednesday so read it before then. -
On the 2nd generation was there just one major mid life update and the usual subtle spec increments typically annually or every couple of years? I know it's just been a year (released July 11/12 2013!) but wondering what a facelift would contain? I'm aware of the Executive Edition. Thanks.

Yes but it's NEW Car Awards 2014. Audi A4 is very very old (released Feb 2008 with new model due 2015) so it was disqualified I guess! 3, IS, C-Class all released in the past 2 years. -
Compare Is With F30 3-Series?

Thanks to you both. As an aside how do the engines of the 1st generation IS200 2nd IS250 and 3rd (current) IS250/300h compare in terms of the smoothness and floaty feeling you describe to each other? My 1st generation IS200 auto still feels so smooth and has this feeling of a hovercraft - like eating Galaxy milk chocolate slowly.
