no i didnt, i brought 'whoever bashes 250's to post their cars and let them be judged' is what i brought, NOT 250 vs 350 which looks better... just applies to the bashers. Please read what i said.

Ummm.. I don't think anyone should be bashed since we ALL drive isx50's
We have the EXACT same body on our cars jus differences here and there..

I really jus think. Using the excuse I bought a is250 over a 350 for mpg savings is just dumb
Its BARLY and less ... But for any other valid reason like I wanted awd or stick or I jus don't need that much hp
Is a respectable reason but mpg.. C"mon u didn't buy a 350 so u could save a coulpe bucks on ur gas tank? Llolol

So why not get an IS-F instead of a 350?

Yep, but even easier, just limit to first gear, get on the throttle, and pop it back into auto before you redline, as opposed to raising the limiting gear. The car should realize you're trying to go, provided you're in the throttle enough, and stretch the shift points out more (to this effect, I believe 'power' mode is a bit tame under partial throttle).

For me, the IS-F wasn't speculated at the time I purchased the 350, so to trade, option, and wait for an F just doesn't interest me at this point. While the performance is nice, I'd select a few cars before it in that aspect, while I'm still on the fence over its looks.

I saw my 2nd AWD IS250 today, not very common in CA. But it did not look as offroad capable as the Jeep I was driving at the time.

Well unless you are an avid off road enthusiast, the AWD will be a suitable alternative for your suburbia off road needs
