Twenty years later, the interest in sedans may not be the same however Lexus’ commitment to the sector remains clear with the IS joining the ES and LS in the brand’s sedan line-up.
Lexus has promised improved technology, dynamics and styling in the new IS, so we took the IS300 F Sport ($70,000 plus on-roads) out to see how far its new-generation contender has come.
