2014 Lexus IS / IS250 / IS350 Sedan | 2014 Lexus IS / IS250 / IS350 Sedan Images Review :
Nearly all new and now available in eight flavors.
If you’ve noticed there hasn’t been much to notice about the Lexus IS sedan for some time, you get an A in noticing. After debuting for the 2006 model year, the brand’s smallest rear-drive four-door went on something of a hiatus for eight seasons. (This is not including the IS F’s transcendent makeover for 2011.) Styling changes over that time were so minor that they qualified only as bar bets anywhere outside a convention of IS buffs. It’s now time, however, to reset the clock and pay attention. First shown at the 2013 Detroit auto show, there’s a brand-new IS, and we spent time shaking down the entire lineup in Austin, Texas.
