If I sell the car it will be intact...not parting out.

 

Wow; a modded Tc

 

So what are they going to name the coupe, IC350?

 

If the make a coupe I will have to consider also. I am waiting for 07 to see what the new G brings. Here is a qoute from Car and driver (www.caranddriver.com) "It also has 306 ponies from an all-new 3.5-liter V-6, enough to make 60 mph in 5.1 seconds and sear your quarter-mile in 13.7 seconds at 104 mph with a few flicks of the steering-wheel paddles controlling the six-speed automatic. Every other car here sucks its dust. Welcome to the most exuberant Lexus ever built."

 

isn't it a TC.........

 

it reminds me of a SCION TC

 

runs 0-60 in 5.1? Stock vs Stock, the Gs have competition

 

The photo with the black car looks way better than the silver one. The silver one looks way too much like a cheaper Acura.

 

Is it just me or does that car look heavy? I know we cant talk with our semi tanks, but it does look just as heavy if not worse.

 

i gotta say i love it!!!

 

Ya the IS350 ran 5.1 in C&D, but that's C&D, everyone else has it in the 5.5 range. Still, its over 300 hp on the new SAE standards, which means it would probably be close to 330 on the old standards. Of course it will be $42-44 loaded, so that's something to consider, too.

 

BWAAAA! I just shot coffee out my nose you ba$tard.

 

hahahahaha sorry bout that man! lol

 

Looks like a BMW 330i with 2 doors. Not bad, but not that exciting. Lexus never seems to let the driver turn off all their VDC-type stuff either.

 

^That has been the complaint that I've read the most as well. The electronic nanny kills the fun.

This is a serious gripe for me, as I always turn off the VDC when starting the car. If the G's system couldn't be turned off, I'd be having buyer's remorse pretty frequently.

And the black IS coupe posted does look good. Unfortunately, I've seen the exact same pic featuring a black sedan. Nice PS skills, but I still need to see what Lexus comes up with before I know if the coupe is something to covet.

And considering the new IS should be a direct competitor with the G, it would only make sense to offer a coupe with distinctive styling, instead of a 2-door sedan. Toyota has done so with the Camry/Solara for some years now, so it's not far-fetched.
