Anyway, R&T really seems taken with the IS.

The problem with that is the first published R&T test shows a 0-60 in 6 seconds and a 1/4 mile time of about 14 seconds....they noted it was a hot day, but trust me all my Porsche buddies found THOSE numbers....when I said it did 0-60 in about 5 they laughed...then I showed them the revised numbers and their jaws dropped..lol...so you cant just average numbers...you gotta look at the test conditions, and compare similar conditions. The 335 test was actually a cooler day....so heat was not the reason....

Although I think they picked the 335 over it....they said it was more sporting and had a bigger interior...Its funny to me, they say its more sporting, but they didnt test one with a sports or x package which is more sporting...oh well...I love the IS, and its "non sporting" characteristics...lol...

Yeah, tell me about it. Lexus wants to play performance yet they make it so damn hard to find a 350 with the sport package (or any 350 for that matter). My salesguy said only 15% are 350's.

If I recall, they said the IS has more trunk space....now to be fair, we are talking about like an inch more interior room overall, the IS has more front legroom, rear legroom is the same....

Could just be my imagination, but I seem to remember the e9x having significantly more room in the rear. Of course, I never spend much time back there.....

Those times and that trap speed are very special. Check out www.dragtimes.com for more real world numbers. Bone stock, complete with jack, spare, and tool kit, these cars are more like 13.6 - 13.7 at 101 mph. Maybe a base model without spare, jack, and tool kit might hit 103, but again, that's a pretty special car. Also, my car with lux, Nav, ML weighed in at 3620 with a half tank of gas. That's quite a bit heavier than the published number 3527.
