P.S. I think NFS4 must be nappin' or sumthin'.......😉
 
Haha! Yeah, right. I am willing to bet you $5.00 right now that the next-gen M3 will eat it for breakfast! And I bet the RS4 will too.

POS, wannabe Lexus!

That's because it doesn't. It's a photoshop.

One thing I like about the M3s is you can easily spot an M3 from a regular 3 a million miles away.

To me this thing looks like any old IS350 with bigger wheels.

Fast. The shifts are incredibly quick.

edit: This car looks good. I've been looking forward to more manufacturers creating dual clutch transmissions.
 
I dunno... once you start getting into the upper echelons of performance vehicles, I can't see Lexus being able to stick around.

They still haven't managed to put a manual transmission in the IS350. I'm not saying that a manual transmission is strictly required, but it does show a certain amount of willingness on the part of an automaker to try to cater to the performance crowd.

In my relatively uneducated opinion, the IS500 will be an extremely competent, very fast car with an overbearing and intrusive collection of systems designed to keep you from doing anything fun. You know, like all of the cars that Lexus makes.
 
Lexus doesn't mean performance/enthusiast, it means luxury, and boring to me at least. Admittedly I'm an Audiphile and would take an RS4 over most any other car on the market.
 
Love the title "everything" killer.

What is so special about this? The performance? Or the driving experience?

Are there not equal or better cars out there?

To each his own, but I have a hard time imagining a less-distinctive design. I don't think they look TOO bad, but they are about as generic as any car design I've ever seen.
 
I'd get an m3 for driving, but the lexus for the interior (if I can get it w/o the damn wood panels) and reliability. i hate BMW's interior. It feels so dated, even the new ones.
