add R in there, Infiniti and Acura better make their claims before the alphabet is gone. ---

[quote=“JaysGreenLX,post:17,topic:37647"”] The performance (at least 0-60) is a little disappointing. The IS350 does it in 4.9 seconds. Hot car though. I would take one in a heartbeat. [/quote] its probably more of a traction issue than anything ---

I doubt many people will be taking this car to the track, so the engineers at Lexus probably figured they could get away with a 255 instead of 275’s in the back, keep the price down a little bit (albeit only a few hundred dollars) and have a fast DD. ---

winding road has some more detailed information about the engine [http://magazine.windingroad.com/windingroad/200712/?folio=1](http://magazine.windingroad.com/windingroad/200712/?folio=1) I like the part where they talk about the yamaha design and sodium filled exhaust valves. ---

Seems oustanding for the money… This should be a good addition to the M3/M5, RS4, C63 segment. Although, admittedly, the 6800 redline is rather anemic… plus the slightly ostentatious styling is a bit of a put off. ---

I got a call from Lexus of Las Vegas 2 weeks ago asking if I wanted to reserve one because I had mentioned it when I bought my wifes truck but I told them I wasn’t interested anymore. My aunt reserved one for my uncle for x-mas though. Hopefully I get to drive it. ---
