Please do some research before posting. The Lexus IS is NOT related to the Camry. You are thinking about the Lexus ES.

Next you'll be telling us the MR-2 was the precursor to the LS400.

I guess you don't know anything about Lexus. The IS 350 is not based on the Camry (That would be the ES) although the Camry is a great vehicle. And the Zyphilis or MKZ whatever it's called is based on a Ford Fusion, which is MUCH WORSE than a Camry. At least the Camry is a proven reliable vehicle (AMERICAS TOP SELLING CAR) as the Fusion is nothing more than one of Ford's throwaway design cars that they are struggling to sell.

As for the resale comment go ahead and compare a 2003 Lexus IS 5 speed and a Lincoln LS V6. The Lincoln cost 2 thousand dollars more when new, and now it's worth about 3 thousand less than the Lexus IS.
