Microsoft screwed the pooch by not making enough XBOX 360's and no Lexus on their IS series. They have had all this time to get people into IS's before BMW's upgrade their engine. Now people have to wait and there will be much closer competition between the two. Talk about a loss of sales. Dumb.
Well obviously you havent seen the movie "Blow" or taken an economics class. Remember in "Blow" when Pablo Escobar wanted to flood the US with cocaine. George Jung had to inform him on simple supply and demand.

In my company (Silicon Valley) of 2000 employees, there are 3 IS350s only (no 250), including mine. However, there must have been at least 100 330/328/325 out there. And there are more M3 than is350. I think I like the way it is now - less is350, since almost everyone here is the silicon valley can afford one.
