I really want to love this car. It looks absolutely stunning, inside and out. I honestly cannot think of a better looking sedan right now. I mean the LS is a fine machine, but this is just proportioned better imho. But I just cannot bring myself to loving it it. Everytime I see it and I feel let down by the FWD. I mean, if I really wanted one, I could live with FWD because it really doesn't matter 80% of the time in the real world. But what is worse that the FWD is the fleet centric marketing offering in Australia (no F-sport, no V6). That is the really sad part. Im sure the hybrid is a good engine. But the V6 is just so much better. And if i can afford one of these, I can darn well afford the petrol to keep it running. I just hope the next IS will be the full range and not limited like the ES.
