Well, i haven't driven the 350 so i can't comment on the feel. Perhaps there is a difference, perhaps not. The IS does feel lighter, but i wouldn't call it a bad feeling in turns. It's just different and feels more "tossable". I don't really notice it feeling any more assisted. But since this is a snow thread, i will say the G35x does a hell of a lot better in the snow than the IS250AWD

I'm starting to drive the IS a little more than the G lately...only because the car has ~9000 miles and is an '07. What a waste. We have it for 1 more year and then its time for something new. I'd really like to pick up one of the new 5.0 '11 Mustangs but she wants an Audi A4 'vert.

the g35x probably puts like 215-220 to the wheels, they should have kept the rating at 260

I think the point was G35's are rated closer to 300 while the Lexus is rated in the low 200's.

its pretty good, no complaints really now that it has a fresh vq in it...it would be nice to have some decent weather to drive in though

my bro is mounting some 235/50 255/45-17 extreme contact DW tires on my 17x8 kosei's for the summer..that should be pretty sweet driving wise...its probably not gonna look that great but im in upstate NY and I really don't care how it looks..lol
