New Lexus IS

[FR3D]

Mercedes have big quality and reliability problem with their cars these few years...

[Inno]

hahaha yup...

some the neighbours in HK (where my dad lives), they told my dad that Lexus is the best reliability brand, Benz were getting worse and worse

but i mean... Toyota has been doing very well in their own division, not to mention the Lexus upper division

[FR3D]

well many of my uncles tell me, if you want a car that last you for 10 years or more, buy a Corolla

yup.. exactly y all u see the driving instructors uses are basically corollas (99.999% of all chinese instructors)

[Inno]

it's also the reason for long lasting toyotas AND Lexus

[FR3D]

here are some specs of the new IS:

Choice of three models: IS 250 rear-wheel drive (RWD), IS 250 AWD, and IS 350 RWD.

Choice of new six-speed manual transmission (IS 250 RWD) or new six-speed automatic (IS 250 AWD and IS 350 RWD) with driver-controllable sequential shift mode.

For the IS 250, an all-new, dual VVT-i 2.5-litre V6 engine, delivering more than 200 horsepower.

For the top-line IS 350, a newly designed, dual VVT-i 3.5 litre V6 engine, with more than 300 horsepower, resulting in 0-60 mi/h acceleration in less than six seconds.

Advanced Lexus Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) on all models, plus Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) system on the IS 350.

All-new front and rear suspension, steering and brake systems.

well tell that to ICE then..lol

[Ice-520]

that's only a concept for now right? and concepts are always better than the production model

honestly, if the IS is around the same price as the 3-series again, I would take the 3-series for sure
but that's just me

when I said boring I was talking about the corolla

and horsepower does not equal to fun anyways
take the mini as an example, it is FF and only under 200 hp, but it is sure a fun and exicting car

[Inno]

not only concept, it's gonna be a production model for next year.

and im sure it'd be more fun than a TSX....at least it's an FR

and im anticipating for the IS350 engine sound....haha i wonder how it would compare with the G35's 3.5

[szefob93]

nice....?!   

[attachment deleted by admin]

[FR3D]

nice....?!

not my cup of tea...

and are those G35 rims?

[Inno]

cool...was that chopped or really a concept??


anyhow..this "coupe" does look quite like G35 on the side....
