Default 2008 MB C300, will there be a 2008/9 Lexus IS300???

Click on the clink -> "See the Class" -> "Sport" -> "Two engines"

Well for 2008 there is going to be two engines offered in the Mercedes Benz C class. 3.0V6 228hp C300 and a 3.5V6 268hp.

Will Lexus put in a 3.0V6 in the IS250 to compete with MB/MBW?? I sure hope not because I just got my new IS 6 months ago.

Highly unlikely.

There has already been a similar debate on the IS350. (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=286473)

Actually there is a 3.0L V6 2IS ,,

but i think if they did sell it along with the 350 in the U.S .. 50% of 350 owners will have gotten the 300 instead. it's cheaper,same specs, and has got enough power.

but if u want one let me know
