Lexus to offer IS350 AWD

[Zewind]

Ok so im about a month late with this, but I couldnt find anything wiht the search.

I love the IS250 AWD but for the price for Hp kinda turned me off of buying it.


Saw this and I cant wait

IS350 AWD

[gyu]

I never understood why they didn't offer AWD for the IS350 in the first place, but offer it for the lower end IS250. I bet current IS350 owners aren't pleased with the news

Ya I would have liked to have awd on my IS350. Maybe I'll upgrade.....need to see the specs on it when it comes out.

On a safety note, for 2011 all non-hybrid Lexus models will include a brake override system that cuts power if the gas and brake pedals are press simultaneously.

Last ditch effort to boost sales of aging model. But AWD is pretty standard fare on an IS anyway.

Unlikely.

seeing how there's no manual on the regular 350...

The IS350 AWD is available starting at $44,950, about the same as the 2010 RWD model. Strangely enough, for 2011 they force you to take the F sport package on the RWD model which pushes it up to $52k.

Seems like a pretty decent deal, if not for the fact that it's long overdue for a new model. There's people trying to peddle used 250 AWDs for close to $40k.

Ya i saw this the other day. the 45k is also with no options. Or you could go to the Subaru WRX STI wagon all in for 46k.

Hmmmm

I just glanced over it, but I thought the base IS was comparably equipped vs the loaded STi... the only thing that stuck out was the base IS is missing the moonroof. For everything else, interior wise (audio, leather, fit & finish), I'd guess that Lexus > Subaru?

Unless I was modding, I'd probably choose the IS over the STi.
*this coming from someone who hasn't driven either car

I'd take the IS over the STI too except that I can fit in an STI, whereas the IS was made for little people.

Ok the GF is going to kill me if she ever sees this comment, but moonroofs are over rated. IMHO


But sedan to sedan. I do like the IS more.

*Also I have not test driven either, but I just might have to here soon

Less than 6'.

Had the seats almost all the way back that backseat behind me does not allow legs.
