But you'd have to endure those STOOPID gauges.

Default I work for Lexus....
I am heading to Chicago for the ride and drive in the middle of this month. I know they are revealing the GX470, which is a smaller version of the LX and bigger than the RX. Haven't heard of anything going into the IS yet, but will post what I find out. Later!

Default I think you mean "GS" GS430 vs. IS300
For a moment I was going to trade my S4 for a 300 horse pocket rocket made by Lexus.
