That thing looks great! How do you like it?



Looks like that's the F-Sport? What's that thing have for HP? I've thought about getting an IS250, but I can't justify going from 270hp in my 2012 Camry SE V6 to like 205hp in the IS250.

Actually that's my car lol. Maybe he meant to quote on it but reposted my pic instead. The car is an IS350 FSport.

Hahah, I thought I saw that car once before in this thread. Such a nice looking ride. And I definitely think the IS350 is the way to go as opposed to the IS250.

The IS250 was always underpowered. But the new IS200t and IS300 solve that issue. The 200t is perfectly decent, and the turbo gives it some nice low end torque too.

Not really. The new turbo-4 has been underwhelming.The 328i is a second faster to 60 and more economical. Lexus has no excuses anymore. The competition (Germans, Infiniti) has out-gunned them significantly.

BMW 328i: 23/35 -> 5.2s 0-60
IS200t: 22/33 -> 6.8s 0-60

Interesting. My V6 Camry SE goes 0-60 in 5.7 seconds, gas mileage is comparable to both these models. I may have to look further into the 328i. Not that I NEED to have a quick 0-60 time, but I hate the idea of giving up power just for a badge on the hood.

I was commenting comparing to the old V6. The reason for the Lexus being so slow, I would guess (and this is without researching the actual specs) is because Lexus does make fatter cars than the Germans. Even the crown jewel RC-F is considerably heavier than the M / AMG comparable.
