I drove both the IS AWD250 and IS 350 today.
I drove both the IS AWD250 and IS 350 today. I had been concerned about the power of the 250 prior to today, but was plesantly surprised. Though I did not have a chance to really open it up on the test course at A Taste of Lexus in NY, it seemed peppy enough. I will have to drive it when it gets released and see its strength between 40-70. Off the line it was sweet and it handled real well. It ios certainly a sweet car. As for the 350, it is a rocket. Neither car provided the excellent driving characteristics of the BMW 330i

IS350, Breakwater Blue with Black Interior. Premium Plus Package (18" option), Parking Assist, Nav System, and Mark Levinson Premium Audio Package.
And if they release port-installed options, I want to add a lip spoiler, body kit, and perhaps the 5-spoke wheels you see on Lexus.jp. Hopefully, they reach the U.S...
