Forbes Says The 2014 IS Is A Quantum Leap Forward - But Can It Challenge The 3-Series?

Keep the articles coming, because I will definitely have to take the word of others about the driving experience; I REFUSE to even test drive something that hideous.

Test drove this recently, car drove well and the handling is pretty good. The interior is typical Lexus - Top of the class. The power, engine and exterior design though left a lot to be desired, esp. compared to BMW's turbo straight 6s.

They really need a tuned version, their current performance offerings are pretty weak sauce.
