    Hello everyone,

    After browsing this forum for the past 2 months, I've decided to create myself an account and introduce myself. I'm currently a Lexus IS350 owner looking to make the switch to a Prius. I test drove a IV+Solar this weekend and was quite surprised on how nice the new Prius is. It has alot of the features that's currently in my IS, minus the passing power of course. ;)

    The dealer is getting a Blizzard Pearl IV+Solar in on Thursday so I'm hoping to make a deal this week. If they can offer me a decent trade-in value on my IS then I'll be good to go. Otherwise, I will need to find a private buyer.

    Hopefully I be able to join this great community. Seeya soon!

    and pic of the old ride as well. :) Prius should have more interior room than the IS350.

    Thanks TonyPSchaefer & usbseawolf2000 for the warm welcome.

    Giving up the performance on my IS was a difficult choice but the 50mpg is just too irristable. :D

    Here's some pics of my IS, hopefully I'll have some of my Prius soon.

    Nice ride! A lot of people will not understand why you are trading it for a Prius.

    Do you have to pay extra to get the Prius?
