Used IS 350s in New York could become popular with the release of Japan's first supercar

Lexus' introduction of its LFA, the first Japanese supercar ever, to motoring enthusiasts in Tokyo a few weeks ago could affect the sales of used IS 350s in New York.

People might start looking at Lexus differently now that they know the manufacturer is capable of making a proper supercar. The New York Times says the LFA was in the spotlight at the Tokyo Motor Show, which might have a positive impact on Lexus' reputation.

One model that could begin attracting attention is the 2007 IS 350. This car might be a sedan, but that doesn't mean it can't hold its own on the highway. The 350 reaches 60 MPH in just under five seconds, which means it'll put up a fight against all of its German rivals like BMW's new turbocharged 335i. The only difference is the IS 350 is naturally aspirated, which some enthusiasts believe is the sign of a true driver's car.

Used IS 350s in New York could start selling out fast with the release of Japan's first ever supercar. Whatever the case may be, the 350 and the LFA wear the same badge.
