For some reason I think they wont be selling too many 350's for 40K. Most people that buy lexus's aren't look for that kind of power. On a side note, I have a 04' LS 430 with the sport suspension, that **** is fast.

Imagine a small ding in the center of one of those big flat door panels. You'll be able to spot it a mile away.

BTW I just priced out a BMW 330i at over $46K with Premium, Sport, Cold Weather, NAV, 6-CD Changer, Metallic Paint, Keyless Entry and 6AT. That is getting quite expensive...

The Edmunds numbers are in on their full road test and review:
6.1 to 60
14.2@99.8 in the 1/4
123 from 60
64.1 through the slalom.
And the bottom line: "But as capable and solid as the car feels when tearing along Angeles Crest Highway, I'm left with an undeniable impression — I'd rather be driving a BMW 3 Series"

hey, do you have a link to the article?
my friend told me on the IS forum that people are saying the is350 would float around 46K....which to me DEFINTELY means i'd rather be driving a 3 series (maybe even an acura rl)

I found the article
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=106455
they seem to like it, though accuse it of the basic lexus critique, almost too high on luxury and could use a bit more driving 'experience'.
nonetheless for me i like it, but am dying to see the cost on it and the other auto journalists get their numbers up too. If they charge more than 40 or so for it its plain too much i think.
