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...

Replying to: lovemyclk (Jul 03, 2007 1:42 pm) I'm on my second IS now and really enjoy it but there are enough minor issues with this second gen design that will keep it from the top spot. BMW 3 series is #1 for sure, and i think the Infinity G35 sales will be much higher. KC |

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?

Replying to: rockshocka1 (Jul 03, 2007 7:03 pm) Depends i guess .... my lexus dealer gave me the keys and asked that i have it back within an hour .... put about 30 miles on it i imagine. This was my second IS from them though. KC |

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.

I've just noticed rattling noise coming from driver side B Arm while driving through uneven pavement and speed bumps. Does anyone here has the similar experience? I'll let the dealer check it out during the upcoming 20K maintenance anyway but just curious to see what's causing the noise. |
