Why even bother SICK? We all know ff's attitude towards Lexus. I can't help but think that even he does not really believe what he says at times and just posts to get a reaction.

You are right and I should know better. I'd rather though, argue and get baited than have our members do it and get in trouble.

I have not seen any reviews or numbers on the 335i sedan only the coupe. I forgot what they tested the coupe at but I don't recall it getting a 0-60 of 4.9 seconds which a IS350 did in a recent comparison. The 335i coupe got very good reviews and looks to be a very nice package except for the interior which I believe is a step down from the E46 BMWs and it was one of the cars on my list. The new twin turbo inline six certainly has more potential then the v-6 in the IS350 though, hopefully it will still be reliable with people tuning for more power.

Although I do no think that the straight line acceleration is quite as big of a gap as these PDF's show. In fact, I'm guessing that the IS is probably only a few tenth's of a second slower. But, you are right there has been no direct comparison test between the cars yet and the difference between the two has yet to be seen.
