Default AWD Comparison Test of IS250, A4, 325, G35, and others...

I did a search and I couldn't find anyone else posting this. The article is a year old.

Road and Track did a comparison test on a bunch of AWD cars, including the IS250 AWD. There's videos too.

Also interesting, they did a rear drive vs. AWD comparison of the G35.

Oh. Also interesting... When they turned off the stability and traction controls, they got a 0-60 in 7.4sec and 1/4mile in 15.5sec. While Lexus's specs report 8.3sec and 16sec, respectively.

Don't miss out on downloading the Data Panel too. It has a bunch of cool performance stats. So many numbers, I can't stop looking at it
