The IS 500 is a nearly perfect hot-rod for those who prefer to fly under the radar. Like every IS, of course, the 500 has rakish styling, but it doesn't stand out from lesser IS models — the only thing different about it dimensionally is that it's slightly longer. Under the hood, however, there's a naturally aspirated V8 that sounds fantastic and goes like the proverbial stink.
