Both will be sweet, but Lexus reliability was a big reason I chose the 350 over BMW and some others, so I will go with the 500!

Why would you have an IS250 beater if you have an IS500 and a LS600?

Man, two Lexus', I dunno.

Man, we go from this (2750lbs):

To discussing interior, luxury, reliability and suspensions being too stiff? Bah, if you want a real fast luxury car there are plenty today. My vote is for something stripped down, a bit rough/stiff and a bit loud.

I think you guys hear what you want to hear.

Downright Dismissal: "Not only have we not officially announced it, but it is a dumb idea and would reduce the car's capability"

If Lexus was serious about this car, they would have stopped short of insulting the idea. They were far more kind with the possibility of the IS430, yet they still didn't produce it.

FWIW, this comparison is ridiculous. Might as well ask what badge people would prefer--it's just as credible given the lack of information we have on the future of these cars.
