The new Lexus IS was not made to go from home to office in the city. You have to be a bit close-minded not to get out of town, put it in Sport Mode and attack some bends around the hills.
Its new rigid body and sport suspension will give lots of feedback, while the V6 engine will please your ears with its low growl transmitted to the cabin via the intake sound resonator.
It’s pretty clear that it was intended to be pushed on the road and the new designed front seats will also enforce that. They have received just the right amount of lower, back and shoulder support while they got thinner to give more legroom to the rear passengers.
See how it does on the twisty roads in California mountains while being tested by The Smoking Tire. We’ve also found an unedited driving footage to let you enjoy the ride accompanied only by the sound of the engine in the background.
