Opinion: 2010 Lexus IS 250 C

This car has surprisingly sporty reflexes.I expected a Lexus convertible, whose mission is making its driver look good and feel fine, to have one-finger steering and a pillowy ride. But that's not the case here. The steering has some real substance, and the ride actually errs on the side of t...

Review: 2008 Lexus IS-F Take Two

07 Jan 2009 10:39:30 PST

A few years ago, when my mother was car shopping for entry luxury sedans, I suggested she "just get an Infiniti G35x." I've never been wild about the G - especially when laden with AWD - but it had more power than any competitors at the time, offered the AWD, the all-important luxury badge, and...
