2006 IS350 (fully loaded)
$ 42,475 - Automatic - E-shift - RWD
Add in the $600 destination charge, and it's $43,000. $7000 less than a fully loaded GS300.
The only thing that a fully loaded GS300 has over a fully loaded IS350 is extra room.
Actually, the IS350 will be even faster than a GS430, at least 0 to 60. Highway passing power will go to the GS430 though.

Not making me a believer. I know what that press release said. And it didnt say anything about an IS300 coming to the USA. We are gonna get the full details in 12 hours. Just go to sleep wake up and everything will be there at your disposal(probably except pricing, even though that seems pretty close).

This is almost like the CTS lineup with similar prices. The new 2.8L V6 CTS that no one buys, the mainline model with the 3.6L V6 and the CTS V. As rare as they might be all 3 can be had with a Aisin 6MT - maybe the same tranny guts as in the IS!!!
Nothing like last minute rumor mongering.

Folks it's a little early for April Fools so don't get excited by the speculators. Eleven hours to go. Pricing will come at a later date. There will be an IS250 RWD, IS250 RWD 6 speed Manual, IS250 AWD and an IS350 RWD variant. OK? Later on we get a Coupe/Convertible.

Hrmm, i'm sorry, but i'm not paying 40K for a entry level sedan. that is BS, it's just not worth 40k. That isn't considered an entry level sedan if it's too expensive. I'll get a GS before I pay 40k for a small sedan.
