Replying to: scottm123 (Aug 18, 2006 4:20 am) That's not entirely true... The only 2nd gen IS sold in China is the IS300. As far as I know, China is the only market to have it (they don't have the 250 and 350). Why Lexus does this is totally beyond me.

Replying to: louiswei (Aug 18, 2006 4:26 am) Is Lexus_in in China?  Does he plan on going to China? Is this a Chinese forum? And if Lexus is still offering the IS300 in China (which I could not quickly find info on)... is it the 2nd Gen Model, or still the old 1st Gen Model? Considering the hp's mentioned, I assume it's a 1st Gen IS.

Replying to: scottm123 (Aug 18, 2006 4:42 am) Lexus China Like I said, it is the 2nd gen IS. I know it is irrelevant to Lexus_in's question but I was just trying to prove that Lexus is still producing the 300 model.

Replying to: louiswei (Aug 18, 2006 5:21 am) Maybe Lexus_in can jump in and explain to us, what it is we're discussing? Yes, Lexus has an IS model in China which is labeled the IS300, looks like the 2nd gen IS250/350, but comes with completely different performance specs. Some countries have specific requirements. Maybe this is why Lexus has done this... who knows. Anyway, when I stated that it is no longer in production, I was only referring to Lexus' production for the US.... since this is where we are. In the US, there is no new IS300. There is nothing coming to us in the form of a new IS300 in the fall. So... There is no use in him waiting for the new IS300 to compare to the 07 TL, unless he plans on importing a car from China which will most likely not even meet our countries emissions standards. |

I am interested to see the performance numbers between these two vehicles. Specifically, I would like to see how the RWD IS 350 performs without the VDIM engaged vs. the FWD TL-S with increased hp/torque and suspension upgrades.

Replying to: ggesq (Aug 18, 2006 11:29 am) I'd like to see them throw the 300hp 07 G35x into the mix as well, to see hot that holds up against these other 2 cars
