Anyone know anything about the next upcoming ES? Im wondering when it comes out and if there will be a body style change. Rigth now the only thing Ive heard is that the engine will be based off of the 3.5 avalon engine.

Look at this link concerning the IS300. Why does this car cost so much to insure? I hope that when I trade in my 300 for an awd 250 that the cost to insure it will go down. Already spoke with my rep about getting an RX330 and found out that the RX330 is 700 per year less to insure than the IS. I guess I just dont understand why my car cost so much to insure. http://timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp...&category=autos

IS300 215hp Automatic MPG is 18 city 24 hwy Infinity G35 280hp Auto MPH is 19 city 26 hwy First and foremost I am a Lexus buyer. However, with these numbers with cars that are priced almost exactly the same, its kind of hard not to go with the Infinity. Im patiently waiting for the next generation IS, and I hope that Toyota/Lexus is benchmarking the new version against the G35, or else they have already lost. Has anyone heard any numbers on horsepower and mpg for the new IS250? (Sorry I put an M35 in the topic, it should say G35)

Does anyone think that Lexus will make this car run on regular fuel instead of the premium requirement that we are all used to seeing?
