Ridgeracer Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 The purist will hate it for the fact that it has so many computers that take control of the vehicle and it has no true manual tranny. It certainly looks great all around. Even better at most angles than our beloved Legacy GT. Performance/handling wise again this car falls far off a cliff compared to BMW. 02 cents..

mikeh19372 Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Soulless. And how big's the engine in AWD form? If I wanted a luxury sport sedan, I'd shell out the extra for the new 3 (which drives great). Now if only someone would push Chris Bangle off a cliff...

The B4 Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 The AWD car has the 2.5l V6 204HP, 185 lbs/ft torque...bleck I'd hit it...finally a Lexus with some passion. You'll save a few bucks on maintenance and on the purchase. If I had to buy an entry level luxury car...i'd rather have an 1. G35 2. BMW 3 3. Audi A4 4. Lexus IS350 5. Acura TSX 6.

Slickvic Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Horsepower (hp @ rpm):306@6400 Torque (ft-lbs @ rpm):277@4800 Hey I wonder if those numbers are the new adjusted SAE numbers? I mean it is possible considering the 350z claims 300HP. I'm just suspicious now since the Forbes article busted out the Japanese for fudging the numbers.

Tripod Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 The Lexus IS350's power rating IS certified to the new SAE standards. It would be rated around 315 or so under the "old" standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
