Quote from the site:

Final Word

The all-new Lexus IS models are a quantum leap forward for the Lexus brand in terms of cutting-edge style and higher levels of performance. But BMW still has an edge when it comes to claiming itself the ultimate driving machine.

Why in their right mind would Lexus put this on their site? Maybe they are trying to dispel the notion that they are competing with the 3 series.... Thoughts?

Clearly, a retarded move, and whoever in lexus's advertising
dept that allowed that should be fired Asap.. You don't see
Bmw writing this in their ads "Bmws may handle better, but
have no where near the reliabilty of a Lexus" Or "Bmw's motor
has great power, but is not match for the new Lexus IS350's motor"
etc, etc.... I mean all the facts i just quoted are true, but if you're
Lexus, you can just leave some stuff out.. geezz..
