2019 Lexus IS 350 F-Sport – Clinging Onto The Past

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Stay tuned for some fun bloopers at the end of this video. There was also a slight audio hiccup at 17:37 where our main mic cuts out because the battery died but thankfully, our backup mic picks up the rest and only last for about 30 seconds. How would you like to see Lexus reinvent the Lexus IS for the next generation? We see this car using the twin-turbo 3.5L V6 from the LS 500 and 10-speed transmission. Hopefully, Lexus doesn't disappoint in the coming years whenever a new generation is introduced!

Watch out for them VA state troopers. If you got out of state tags drive 1 MPH below the speed limit.

Everyone complaining about the car being out dated…sometimes old and simple is just better for daily functionality. These cars don’t need all that super fancy shit to make it a great vehicle. That’s what Lexus is all about imo

Which is worst Acura TSX or Lexus IS?

Whoever approved those headlights and grille was on drugs.
The rest of the car actually looks great and seems to be a great, fun vehicle.

Had one for an Uber. Sardine back seat. Absolutely terrible value on the interior vs some lower car brands at the moment. Same w/ the UX.

Would rather have a Genesis G70 3.3T over this.

ehh not a fan of the exterior

My family had the GS350 AWD and it had the same Powertrain, infotainment, etc. I absolutely LOVED the engine, it sounds incredible and I beat the shit out of it with zero complaints. The transmission was the weakest link on performance. It shifted great, but it was spaced almost like a 4 Speed auto. If it had the 8 speed it would feel MUCH faster and more modern. The best 0-60 I could get on the 17’ AWD GS was about 5.7, brake boosting it to like 2500 rpm. The gap from first to second is terrible. The replacement car was a C300 AMG Line and the interior kills the Lexus. The transmission is MUCH better and so is the infotainment. But I miss the NA V6 linear power and noise. The C300 is a decent bit faster feeling though, despite being about the same rated.

That lexus looks hot in red!!

I was looking at these a couple years ago but there’s very few IS350s out there I noticed. The base engines just weren’t even interesting as base German engines
