and get a manual rwd 250 and turbo that bish?

i dont see anypoint of skipping the IS350 and turboing or supercharging the 250. i think it's just a waste of money. pushing another extra 100 hps (so that you get the same power as 350) on already very high compression motor is not a good idea, IMHO.

I'd rather wait for the coupe or convertible in the following year. It'd be hard for Lexus to not offer the manual+3.5L combo on a 2-door model.

I would rather wait for the 350 coupe with 6MT . . .

the 250 engine is going to be pretty much all new, so i am not sure how long it is before there will b ea reliable turbo kits for teh car. and the 250 and 350 power difference is quite a bit, so maybe 350 is more worth it, and then you turbo the 350

but for me, i go with andrew, i want a coupe with mt and the 350 engine

A coupe would be soo awesome. Imma start savin up 600 bucks a month for the downpayment on coupe

you should. and actually with 600 bucks a month, i thnk you can almost finance the car with zero down already

Is there going to be a coupe for sure next year? Has that been officially released?

May be i should wait for the coupe 6speed MT as well, or at least i should just wait and see what it looks like.

At first, I was thinking the chances of a 2 door would be close to 0%.
But the more I look at pics of the new 4 door coming out.. it would only make perfect since for them to come out with the 2 door.. since they seem to be trying to face head on with the g35 and 3 series. With that in mind.. I'm thinking it is more of a 50% chance of it happening by next year. And with that i-s like 2 door concept that came out not long ago.. it only backs it up even more.. we'll just have to wait and see!! (they may just pull an infiniti and have the sedans sell for a few months before they break news on the coupe.)

Considerin how well the the 3 series coupe and the g35 coupe are selling, its a no-brainer for Lexus to tap into that market. The G35, despite popular opinion, still looks funky to me because the tire wells looks a little bit too small on the car. BMW has quality issues. The IS350 with 300hp should be a great challenger

Yea, after payin off my tickets and credit card bills, I have almost no bills other than insurance, gas, and cell fone. Plus Im startin to make sacrifices by eating at home and eatin 25 cent frozen burritoes durin lunch break That money would either go into my SC or into my IS350 fund.

haha believe me, people will do everything to get a car (read: me)

when i had my is300, i paid around 550 or so (forgot) and that's almost with no down. so if you even skip the frozen burritoes, you can get the is350

With dual VVTi and direct injection as well as more electronic do dads than before, shops are not going to just simply slap Forced Induction on these cars. The Air/Fuel ratio is already banannas.
