it is a sweet ride but really, it is not an IS competitor. You dont compare I6's to W8's (not even V8's! ). And you certainly dont compare A6's to IS's.

Default Hmm

Wouldnt a W8 be alot heavier? Just a thought. If its heavier itll be alot slower so that 215 may easily equal the 270.

dude I dont know what your woried about the W8 is a slug and a half all this power and it pulls a 7.8 to 60 ( for the auto ) and the manual isnt comming to the states and if it does it would pull a 6.5, so before you start ranting and raving make sure you do alittle research about the car your IS will eat it up on the road, you have a .4 second diffrence right there and if you add an intake and an exaust and a chip Im sure youll have the top end part too. So dont worry too much about the W8 the car was never meant to be raced it's suposed to be a " Luxury car " but I would totaly take a GS300 or IS300 over that hunk of junk
