New member with a trade in question for IS350 2015 model year

Pics of the 2012 Benz SLK 350 and the 2011 BMW 335 xdrive. And yep, that's the Atomic Silver with red interior. The pics make that car look absolutely stunning. I think it would be a fine consolation prize for getting rid of my SLK 350 (Which I love)

just told my salesman I'll do the deal.
So next week they get my cars and I'll be getting a new 2015 Atomic Silver with red leather Lexus IS350 AWD with F Sport and a few other features as well as a check for $15,000.
Bittersweet as I truly love my little SLK 350 but I have a feeling I'm going to love this new Lexus. I might be in the minority but I think that aggressive F-Sport front end is one of the coolest designs available on a sport/luxury vehicle right now. More pics of the car to follow soon...

Which dealership did you end up going with? I had a bad buying experience with Metro Lexus (although it was probably salesman specific) and went elsewhere, they kept telling me their best offer was $500 over msrp, claiming 'they had to make something on the car'. They became more willing to negotiate after I told them I was working with another dealership but still would only ever match the other dealership and never offered to surpass their discount.

I found a white with red interior IS350 2015 at Metro Lexus in Cleveland and they wouldn't budge off of the dollar amount they were willing to give for my two cars so...
I called Classic Lexus in Willoughby Hills, Ohio and spoke with Chris (my salesman) and that's where the story ends. They came in with the best offer even versus some out of state dealerships. After thinking about it I even started liking the Atomic Silver more than my first choice which was the white with red interior. I even got a call from the sales manager that wanted to chat about my cars I would be trading in. Really nice guy, Dillon was his name.
So, thus far big thumbs up for this dealership at least on the phone conversations I've had and their giving me the best deal out of quite a few dealerships.

So, I'm sure this has been discussed numerous times on these forums but I was wondering what the thoughts are on the power of this car. From the technical specs it looks like it's about as fast as the Benz SLK350 but the 2011 BMW is a full second faster. Most reviews of the car complain about the lack of power. I don't hammer on my cars so will it be a noticeable difference from the Bimmer? Maybe silly question but just curious about thoughts from current owners of these new IS350's.

Side note, I also drove a loaded out Infiniti Q50. Not sure where it ranks in the sport sedan realm but that car felt much more like a full sized family hauler than a sports car with 4 doors. It just felt heavy to me. Nice car but not $50,000 nice (loaded out).

I'm sure this article has been mentioned before, but your comments about the BMW reminded me of the views held by the Road & Track reviewers. I test drove the BMW but felt the Lexus provided the best overall package.
