This is a 3rd Gen forum, they emphatically & repeatedly post "I love my IS" while at the same time b|tch & whine about how much they hate completely moot & irrelevant shortcomings wrt the IS, of which they DO NOT EVEN OWN an IS350 FSport RWD (as you state), think those subjective little #s in their heads make them experts, and then make comparisons to other sh|tty cars AGAIN of which they don't own, don't have a fraction of Lexus longevity, but enormous total cost of break & fix ownership. Hypocrites much? Some bring up BMW 3-series all of which suck compared to IS350 FSport, and even Acura TL!? lol
None of you can even answer WHY you “have a wish list”, or “requesting a new engine”, or “more power”, or “compete with Germans”, or want “this”, or “that”. It’s complete BS. Even if similar is released it's also BS that you're gonna immediately run to a Lexus dealer and buy one. Do ya even read your own posts? You constantly come up with XXX reasons for hating IS, recommend other sub-standard, UN-reliable, break & fix cars which are crappy in comparison, someone challenges, and then the response is “ohhh btw but I love my IS”. BLEGH. And then a pathetic excuse is that the majority of us are just "fan boys". So what does it make you by repeating on numerous posts "I love my IS"?? Good Luck fishing for a fan base to join your distaste for Lexus. Any other reasons for being on this forum? Analogous to pelosi - in one breath she says “i pray for trump”, and then immediately after “i want to see him in jail” - ya well make up ur mind u psychotic b|otch.
Ya, especially Audi, BMW, Benz deficiencies. Point Proved - Touche.

So I guess the IS has 0 deficiencies right? Perfect car in the world so don’t say anything bad about it? I can’t love my IS AND point out the things I dislike? Lexus can do no wrong haha.

Clutch & pedal issue? Am I crazy or G20 is not available in manual at all not even in Europe. I visit Bimmerpost regularly because I almost pulled the trigger on G20 never heard of any issues with the car except there were some connected drive issue.

Ya ok there "fan boy" who "loves his IS". Considering the fact that you don't have an IS350 FSport you don't even have a clue about the (non) "deficiencies" you constantly & incessantly b|itch & whine about. The upgrade to your IS300 is the IS350, but oh noooo, now you need a turbo v8 IS500 - release it at once!! lol Soon thereafter, whiners can start making demands for an IS750 with a v12 HEMI

Let's not pollute the thread with flame wars and keep it civil, while keeping the topics focused around the new IS. There is no need to call anyone a "fan boy" here.

And as easy as it is to point the finger at @Flash5 for his comments (which I didn't read to be honest), if it's in relation to that one particular member, then they were probably 100% correct...whether he was right or wrong for posting it.
It's obvious that one member likes to make inflammatory comments to draw attention from the forum...you will note he won't comment in regards to anything directly pointed at him in response...which just reinforces the fact that it's just 'hit and run' posts.
I try to ignore his posts until the threshold of stupid drops below what I can tolerate, then I gotta say something.
You may or may not know that you can choose to hide any comments posted by any member in your settings, that way you'll never see the comment to begin with, thus avoiding the temptation to respond.
And yes the mods have spoken to him about his posts, but i think he now mostly keeps them just under the radar...don't hate the playa, hate the game...as it were.
I guess every forum has to have a villain to keep things interesting.
As arentz07 suggested, let's keep the thread back on track with the topic at hand...and when are they gonna release my IS500!!!

I personally can't wait. I am also glad the myth of there being insufficient room in the engine bay is getting debunked - heck our member @beezmarkee showed that with that "IS 500" a while back!

70k American? Not a chance. Here in Canada, it would be close to that range though...
What is the sticker price of an IS350 in the US? Its 52k in Canada, here I'm guessing 65-70k for the V8 would almost be a given.

For me, I would rather see the V-8 than the V-6 with turbo, I am a sucker for naturally aspirated engine but I know I am a dying breed (lol)
