Cool Autoweek Says: '06 BMW 330i > '06 Lexus IS350

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!

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
