Just pick up my IS 250 AWD Friday before Christmas. Great car and it is a lot of fun to drive. Sure I would like extra pep, however there is always trade offs. For a fun car that is classy and drives great and the price you can't beat it. I look at BMW love the drive but price and looks just didn't get it. I drove the G35 and this car is very quick. Dealer would not deal and the gas milage is terrible. Paid muck less for the Lexus and will laugh everytime at the gas pumps.
