The IS300 is a somewhat dated design, as some have pointed out. However, it has a unique style to it that most people either like a lot or simply hate. BTW, the 9-5 design is getting a bit long in the tooth as well.
I'm partial to the Sportcross wagon variant and it would be my "first choice" if it came with the manual transmission. The lack of a manual is what got me looking around at other options: SAAB 9-5 Aero SW, Mercedes-Benz C320 wagon (which I heard is getting rid of the manual for 2004), and Audi S4 Avant(crazy expensive!!!). I may yet just bite the bullet on tranny choice and get the Lexus yet.
If you don't plan on using your backseat for moving people on a regular basis then the Lexus IS300 should definitely be on your short list.
