Reviews
The new 2019 Lexus IS 350 is a compact luxury sedan and you can find it on sale now at Lexus of Shreveport Bossier City. It’s the most powerful IS available and one of the sportiest vehicles in the Lexus lineup. Of the Lexus IS, KBB.com wrote, “Good enough to take on the likes of the Cadillac ATS, BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. The IS is backed by Lexus’ indisputable reputation for quality, reliability and high resale, not to mention a long list of luxury and safety features buyers have come to expect.” [1] The Lexus IS is available in the IS 300, IS 300 F Sport, IS 350 and IS 350 F Sport.

The 2019 Acura ILX is also a compact luxury sedan. Its lower starting MSRP may make it attractive to buyers but it lacks in ingenuity and drive. Of the ILX, Autoblog wrote, “Despite being billed as ‘new,’ the ILX needs to be redesigned on the current Civic platform as soon as possible, to remain competitive in its class — or even to remain competitive with the Civic itself.”[2]
