The IS is a great car according to my friend who is a die hard Lexus man and has owned 2 - he drools over my RC though - he would love it but he's a senior citizen and says he's too old for one now

So I guess it depends what she wants - ask your wife if she wants an old persons car or a young persons car

Every where we park it gets admired - my friends IS didn't

The IS offers more practicality being a 4 door but the RC is perfect for 2 and giving the occasional lift to friends  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!
