This thing is not going to lose anything resembling a comparison unless they get a loaded one and price becomes and issue.
I am curious to see auto performance numbers, since the majority will be autos (sold).
I am also happy the IS debuted a year ago, as this coming out NOW will steal a lot of thunder from the G35 revision and the TL.

scary thing is no matter how expensive it is, ($50k+), there will always be someone willing to pay for one. Even scarier is that no matter how much people bash the 3-series for being too expensive, relative to the IS-series, the 3 will keep on dominating sales in its category.
With IS coupe/convertible coming, and potential IS500 halo model, who knows how high IS sales will reach. That's not even mentioning ES sales.
Not to mention, new G35 right around the corner, and new Cadillac CTS soon ... things will get very interesting.

230 hp/ 200 torque is pretty respectable I guess. And it's distancing itself even more from the IS250. Lexus should boost the 250 a bit.
I may be in the minority, but I also want a G25. That revised VQ25HR motor sounds good.

Well, the 335i gets all the hoopla, but you know the thing that actually sells will be the 328i auto.

Yes, 328 is also a good bet.

What ever.
335i has more torque and HP to the rear wheel than IS350 by significant margin. Automobile did another dyno and on one of the run actually had 299HP to the rear wheel.
Also regarding sales figure goes, E90 sedan still outsold IS. So please get the information straight.
As far as ED goes, ,my wife's 335i fully loaded comes to $45k with tax. That's close to 5k saving from sticker.

Do European delivery and I think you can save $2700.

But since you're in Cali, the cost savings (minus plane ticket) may not be worth the hassle.
