Reviews SummaryHas the world moved beyond the full-size family sedan? The answer might be yes. Considering that a Chevrolet Impala provides just a few inches of extra space here and a few cubic feet of additional trunk room there, but at a cost in terms of purchase price and fuel economy, it's hard to justify a big car’s existence. Yet, the Impala exists, and within its segment, it is absolutely worthy of consideration. | |
Reviews SummaryAlthough it wears a Lexus badge, don’t allow preconceived notions of what Lexus means to cloud your judgment of the IS lineup. These cars are multi-talented sports sedans with high levels of quality and refinement, but little in the way of traditional luxuries. Keep this in mind, and you’ll get along with the IS just fine. | |
