I work with both cars in the cosmetic paint sector. I'm certified in BMW and Lexus. If I was given either or if I had to purchase either, I could decide Lexus 99 out of 100 times. Their quality, craftsmanship is unmatched by any other car maker on the planet.
Lexus is a division of Toyota and the IS did first come from the Corolla.but the new IS is her own breed of car with no sister car on the Toyota side. I have not looked into the IS too much but looked at the IS300. I was a die hard GS fan till this new model IS came out. Reminds me of a baby GS.
BMW use to be recognized to live in the shop.they have gotten better.but you'll still see at least twice as much shop time as you could with any Lexus.
