who is here going for IS350 AWD?

Def gonna test drive one and see... Chicago winters are tough... Snow tires did great last year but if I move in with my girlfriend she hates driving my car in the winter so I may "look" at one.. we'll see how it performs

i dont get why people would want a 350 in AWD...all that extra power thats not in a 250 will do absolutely nothing for you when youre stuck in the snow...or mud...or whatever. theres a reason they waited this long to make a 350 AWD. They wanted to know for sure if there were enough schmucks out there to buy a 350awd over a 250awd to make their quota. 99% of all 250awd IS's are driven by people who arent going to mod their car. so they waited to hear all the "I wish the 350 had an AWD option" e-mails...and sure enough, theres enough to gauge interest.

Actually, will the sports suspension be the same? I was looking at BMW 335's before I got my IS 350, but there were quite a few people commenting that the x (AWD) version was significantly worse due to not being able to have the sports suspension (got the 350 because the 335's maintanence was killer!)

up here in alaska, having AWD goes a long way. i love my 250awd, but i sure wouldn't mind the extra 100 ponies that comes with the 350, while still being able to get around during the 6 months of the year that we're buried in snow.

autobox awd 350 vs. autobox rwd 350 = doesnt seem to calculate with me.....if awd is wat u're looking for then what is wrong with the g sedan....they seem to offer way more options in both cosmetics, performance, tech options, and tranny......
it doesnt seem like a better buy imho.....it almost sounds as if lexus baiting ppl for a rape. and bobby is right last time i checked awd would make it slower and heavier thus defeating the purpose of buying a 350 in the first place.....
suburu,g35 hell even audi vs. awd 350 it would seem like u'd get more bang for ur buck with the subi or the G.
