sad thing is that someone will buy this car. If i ever see someone driving this car i will roll up to them and just laugh at their face.

For 45k? No thank you.

Might as well get an IS350, throw 10k into it, and have a superior machine. The only downside would be the lack of the manual tranny option.

Wow. The article says "so what's a budget minded enthusiast to do? Take a look at the IS250 F-Sport."

I didn't know the budget minded person was looking at a $45k car. That is absolutely ludacris. And it is using their lowest engine. Now you can look fast and still run high 15's.

Lexus needs to get off their high horse. The fact that the 250 even starts at 30k is pathetic.

That's about the only thing I was drooling at.

But then I thought to myself how a such an expensive brake system on a car that isn't very fast to begin with is redundant
