Lexus IS C starts at $38,490, RX450h at $41,660

[YotaFun]

I would like to see the IS C in an F package and then maybe I would be tempted to buy it, i mean I see the F badging on the site for it, but will it really be as good as the IS F?

As for the RX, never liked them, still don't like them, I would get a RAV4 sport first...

Also while poking around the Lexus site, the LS-A would be a nice car to come out to compete with such vehicles as the Aston Martin DB7 Vantage and equivalents to it.
Granted I know that is not the direction the economy is going, and Lexus shouldn't be looking to hard into it, it still would be a nice option.

slightly off topic, but a friend I have at Toyota recently told me the the Highlander Hybrid is quite capable of lighting all 4 tires up if you can put it in "service" mode . . .

My brother has a black on black special edition IS300 with a 5spd, darker tail lights, spoiler, and the anthracite factory rims (I guess that's what they are--they are the factory 5 spoke, but with a darker finish). It was a super nice nice car.

I also really like the new IS. If I were to buy a new car, I would get either an IS250 with the 6spd, or BMW 335 with the 6spd. I've never been a fan of the RX.

my moms RX350 is pretty damn fast, i bet it would beat a stock supercharged 3.4.

ive driven all of the IS models, the IS350 is plenty of power for anyone, the ISF is in a whole new league and i think its a tiny bit faster then the m3 on launch, but the m3 will cake it in the higher range.

that ISC is butt ugly and the new rx450h front bumper looks disgusting.

i just got back from taking the aston martin dbs back to the dealership, had it for friday and saturday, i know the GM of ferrari of atlanta and had it on sale on location type deal

I want an IS300, i dont care if its been wrecked so long as the frame is good and its only cosmetic-people dump cars for cheap cause of this. Then its time to throw in an IS430 motor and a 6 speed getrag Then and only then do you have a cool car. Anyone seen the old rides where Rod Millen and co made one, it basically was for all intents and purposes what the IS250/350 is powerwise.

But as much as I like toyota, i could just buy a very decent 69 camaro/FB/GTO or chevelle/nova and drop in a worked 350 block and have the balls to the walls power. MPG, thats a moot point when you have so much power you can SHRED tires at will in ALL gears. mmm 2 speed powerglide trans would do well too, but a turbo 400 would be better.

Yeah! That IS430 was sweet! There is a guy on Lextreme that has put the 4.3 into a IS300 sportcross as well. Very cool swap. And now that a 5.2L stroker kit is in the works, an IS520 would be crazy.

That camaro/FB/GTO/chevelle/nova might be faster in a straight line but you couldn't toss it into corners nearly as hard. If I was just looking for balls to the wall power in a straight line, then the IS wouldn't really be on my list anyway.

Sure it can, not with a stock suspension tho.

You should just buy a minivan.
