True, the 328i isn't fast. I test drove an IS250 and an IS350 (the first gens) a few years ago and while the 350 was faster it sucked. Throttle response and transmission programming was just terrible. The IS250 I actually thought was a 4 cylinder. I'm not a big guy, but my head was practically touching the B pillar, not sure how anyone 6 feet+ would even fit in those. G37 is much quicker and better sounding than all of the above, but I hated the twitchy-ness of the steering on center of the few I drove at highway speeds and the seating position was a bit odd. The 7-speed auto in those also seems to never know what gear it wants to be in. We all know Rudi is here because the Lexus forum is full of non-car guys though. |

Side note: There is a Russian on Club Lexus that bought 2 totaled Lexus's. One was an RC350, the other was an IS350. He straight up, combined the two cars into one. He got tired of waiting on Lexus to release an IS-F, so he made his own. Crazy amount of work, but he pulled it off. |

Currently driving the 2nd IS. The 2nd gen seemed to be considerably faster than the 3rd. I have no hard evidence and haven't bothered to look it up, but based off ownership experience; the 3rd gen is only as fast as the 2nd gen if sport + is activated. Driving in normal mode is like driving an IS 250 and driving in eco is like driving an Accord. |

wine and bread is always on the table, lots and lots of food. they have pride in making the sauce from scratch. now depending what part of Italy they come from, they have different dialects. |
