y2ks2k, do you always talk out your @ss like this? I test drove them twice before X-mas. Hmm, been available in So Cal for many months before that. Sorry that you must live in a backwards area of your country, "eh?"

It seem obvious that YOU have spent no time in them. I know a thing-or-two about vehicle dynamics having auto-x'd for many years. Yes, the IS350 wallows, rocks, rolls, squats, and dives. I felt this myself in ordinary street driving. Start pushing it and it feels like the roller coaster's wheels may fall off. If your finely tuned butt can't tell how uncontrolled the IS suspension is then perhaps I can suggest a nice MBZ for your driving pleasure!

The Lexus Sport package? Total joke. You do know they stiffen the shocks but do nothing to the springs (aside from the lower profile wheel rate), right? I'm a fan and I really wanted to buy the IS350 but I drove them back-to-back (less than 5 minutes between) and the 330i kicked the IS to the curb on driving dynamics.

Pretty simple stuff you can "try at home." Like I said, that review was very balanced. Go to ClubLexus if you want to hang with fan-boys.

Like I said, it's a very random process... kinda like old nintendo passwords.. up up down down left right left right a b a b select start....

Definitely not something Lexus intends its consumers to do.



And your grammatical errors make us wish you were from Canada... Vancouver, Washington should not qualify as a city, as I'm pretty sure no one outside of the Pacific NW has heard of it.

1/4 mile times and power numbers don't make a great track machine...

The Lexus IS350 is a great Lexus, and the BMW 330i is a great BMW. That's pretty much what it boils down to.

Great argument there, nope.. never driven an Is350...

I had the option on an 330i, I could not live with that kind of weak power generation.

You have anything to say about the 330i driving dynamics? Why don't you go try one out and come back.

I'm sorry to hear you need to streetlight race everyone around to have some fun in your car.
