every guy that gets a 250 ends up wanting a 350. and almost every guy that gets a 350 ends up wanting an is-f. so eventually you will go for an is-f either way. lol 350 is the best bang for the buck though. i'm happy w/ it.

I guess that's true of the 250. You're fine driving it when you're by yourself, though you wish people saw you driving a 350 instead.

Not really. I could give a **** about what people see outside, I actually wish it was invisible, so I could take that engine andeverywhere i went i could thrash the **** out of it without fear a cop will pull me over. Anyone who owns a 350 that runs it hard knows the damn thing gets up to speed so effortlessly and with such command that you will find yourself doing insane speeeds on 35mph streets. The thing just rolls out, it has a big engine and a smooth ride and evrything else works good too.

I agree. Get the IS350 for speed and the IS250 if speed does not matter!

They make a 250 beacuse it sells better than the 350... Maybe not among CL members, but overall, the 250 sells better.

That said, get the 350!

I didn't even know the 250 existed when I ordered my 350. So you know what I'd pick if I were you.

If you don't catch my drift, check my sig.

The only reason I bought the 250 is because of the AWD here in Chicago. If you live in a non-snow belt, step up to a 350, they feel great!! I am happy with my 250 AWD. If I ever moved back down to the south, I would trade it in for a 350.

I also live in Illinois and had to weigh my preference for power and RWD vs utility and AWD. In the end, after test driving both, I picked the 350. What a fantastic car. So far, with my Dunlop snow tires, I've been doing OK. But there's still much winter to be had, so we'll see
