A dealer told me that all cars in California with X-package are pretty loaded up... with premium package, navigation, etc. (MSRP about 38K+) I was wondering if other people heard the same thing? I know that in other states you can get an IS250 X-package with fewer options (MSRP about 36K). P.S. I really liked the sport tuned suspension when I test drove it! It'd be great if I could find one in CA without navi and all the extras. |

Replying to: trackstarr (May 24, 2007 3:22 pm) That's kinda humorous. Don't believe you are "settling" in any of these cars - different strokes...! Don't think BMW and Audi are concerned and probably welcome a competent new player. The MB is all about raw horsepower over a nimble (read: sporty) driving experience. I see the Lexus as adding a luxury-focused high-performance option to the mix (although for drivers much smaller than me at 6'5" & 260lbs  ) I believe, IMO, that the upcoming M3 will reset the bar in this class. Guess we'll have to wait and see how it tests...

That the local Lexus dealer had 0 sport models on the lot, but when test driving a 350 (as well as an RX), the salesman made it clear that the drive would be up and down highway 17, which is straight as an arrow. He was none to receptive to my requests to try on ramps or curvy roads. High School was a long time ago, what gives?

Does anyone happen to know where I can find the torque curve of the IS250? I am curious to know what the torque is like at lower RPMs... During my test drive, the IS250 seemed a bit lacking in that respect. Also, I didn't happen to notice if there was a sport button on the car. Is there one? And if so, does it make a difference? Thanks! |

Can someone tell me what I'm supposed to notice with the ventilated seats. While driving today I turned on the empty passenger seat ventilation (set it to 3) and after a few minutes I reached over to touch the seat and it felt hotter. I had it on on my side too and my back was sweating just like in any other car, maybe more. Granted it was a blistering day today, but...Where does the air come from? The engine? Outside? Is it even cooled? If I put my hand on the seat, should I feel air flow? Just wondering if it's working correctly in my car. Thanks.
