Lexus
2024 IS
The sporty Lexus that refused to go quietly into electrification
The Lexus IS has been in continuous production since 1998 and the current third generation refuses to compromise its sport-sedan mission: the IS 350 F Sport pairs a 311-hp naturally aspirated V6 with rear-wheel drive and one of the best sport steering systems of any compact luxury sedan. It's not the most technologically advanced car in the class, but it's one of the most rewarding to drive — and Lexus reliability gives it a long-term ownership case that BMW and Mercedes can't match.
311 hp starting at $39,550 is exceptional value.
