Everyone compares LED strips to Audi. Nothing new. From Porsche to Benz to Audi themselves Its pretty much the industry standard for DRLS.

Not sure if I like that front bumper... But dammit, I may want to trade my 250AWD for the 350AWD

i think the new bumper is ugly.

crazybuggy

how will the is350AWD match to the is350RWD? the AWD system adds more weight so im guessin the faster car would be the RWD?

My dealership called this week wanting to buy out the lease for my 2009 and lease me a new 2010. I am starting to wonder if I don't need to. I definitely don't want the 2011 version (not liking the front bumper at all) and now it is looking like my lease will be up well before a 3IS comes out My current lease is up Oct 2011.

What would you guys suggest? Wish I could talk my husband into an is350

I've got some details from our dealership in Australia regarding the new IS250/350. First of all gone is - passenger side memory seats from all grades, also gone is the rear privacy screen in rear window, also gone is adaptive HID lights that appeared in the 09 f-sport, also there will be a two blacks (the existing acrylic black, and a new metallic black called starlight black). That's all for now.

Given the AWD 350, I'm thinking 0-60 in 4.4ish, but 1/4 mile times 13.6-13.8? I remember back to my Eclipse GST and GSX days when I was younger and modding those cars to increase power was easy, but man the AWD GSX would launch like a rocketship, but the GST would catch up and pass the GSX down the road....

The car only has 300 hp... awd is not going to knock half a second off the 0-60.

At only 306 hp it might not knock anything off 0-60 at all, and it'll certainly be slower in the 1/4 mile with greater drivetrain loss and hundreds of lbs more weight.

The GS350 for example is slower in both 0-60 and 1/4 mile in AWD trim... it doesn't make enough power for the AWD to be of any performance value whatsoever.

0.1 seconds slower 0-60 and 1/4 mile for AWD. (and worse mileage, worse turning radius, pretty much worse in every sense for AWD)


Now, put 500 hp in a car, AWD is very useful. 300 hp? it's dead weight for people who don't know how to buy snow tires.

I would ROCK those new F Sport wheels on that USB, ALL DAY LONG!!!
