Just read the review in the new issue of Autoweek... And, according to the article, both are nice mid-$40K range luxury sedans with lots of goodies to gawk over. But, after all is said and done, which is really the better car?

The bottom-line: The '06 BMW 330i is the superior of the two...

The writers point out that the Lexus really only shines, if you drive in a straight line. And, c'mon- who does that? They draw an analogy of Lexus bringing a knife to the showdown and still managing to shoot themselves in the foot.

Woot! :D:

The bmw is almost as fast and more involving to drive. Its got more feedback through the wheel, a more stiff suspension and is lighter weight.

The IS is a great car, it drives like my parents GS300, but thats the problem, its like driving valum

let's not forget about that wonderful magnesium motor!

i like the IS350. its clean. yet bmw is a great car
