Lexus IS 
Now that the CT is no longer available in Canada, the IS has become the entry-level car at Lexus. In addition to the turbocharged, 2.0L four-cylinder IS 300, two other versions are available: the IS 300 AWD and IS 350 AWD. They feature a 3.5L V6 that delivers 260 and 311 horsepower, respectively. Depending on the version, the Premium, F SPORT and Luxury packages can be added. All versions of the IS possess a drive mode selector with ECO, Normal and Sport settings.
