The Lexus IS 300 sedan offers ride, handling, power, brakes, comfort and price comparable to the BMW 3 Series and other sports sedans. The IS 300 SportCross is an excellent concept with tremendous promise. If it had an available roof rack and either a manual gearbox or sportier programming of the auto/manual transmission, it would fulfill that promise. In both cases, we were particularly impressed with the braking and handling.
