Even if it is Camry-based, they have certainly done a lot more to the styling than add a few chrome strips and a bit more leather. I like the look of the styling on the IS a little better, but still it looks nice. Good buy

Good choice, and I need a new daily driver, the Wrangler is killing me right now. Gonna get rid of it by summers end. Just not liking the ride that much anymore, at least for a daily driver.
I have many options, but don't know what to go with as of right now. Gonna wait until the 07's come screeching into the dealers.

I told you those jeeps make sucky drivers, the ride gets old real fast.
Going tonight to look at more colors at a different dealer, I have a feeling the other dealer was pushing to get rid of this color car.
I can shop in confidence knowing they want to sell me the car and that my credit allows me to get the best rate, its nice when you dont have to feel like they are doing you a favor selling you a car.

Yeah, the ride is getting pretty shitty. I did not mind it really at first, but its getting harsh, and gas prices ain't changing any time soon.
Probably going to go with something used, more than likely a Honda Accord. I will sell the Jeep privately though, not playing the trade in game. Played it everyday for a year, not very fun.
Or I might go with a Mazda 6, seems like a good car to get, and it's not too pricey, and good gas mileage.

Very pretty car Rob.
My parents have always bought Lexus, they seem to love them.
Over the years they've had-
ES300
ES400
ES430
SC300
SC430
They are definately nice cars when you wanna go out for a queit night, dinner and movie etc w/out having every tool in the county rev at you.
I'm sure you'll grow more satisfied with it every day.

I dont think they made a ES400 or a ES430, maybe your thinking a LS or a GS?
So far I love the car, its so damm quiet and comfortable and it has good power, like 270 hp or something like that, its so smooth and the smartkey is a nice touch as well. You dont need a key to start the car or open the doors, just walk up to the car and push the button to start it, the seats, mirrors, radio stations, etc.. automatically set to the driver when you walk up the car.
The headlights seeing around corners is nothing new, but a first for me, kinda freaks you out first time you do it!
