“The thing we are lacking in the United States is the emotional offering,” Lexus chief Takeshi Yoshida said at a media event. “We hope this car achieves it.” Couldn’t have said it better ourselves Lexus.

Who would want this when they can get a GT-R for around the same price?

montyz81,
I would. I want 4 doors and a child on the way....Not that the IS in any form is has SUV like back seat space, but it's the best of both worlds (this segment).

Don't think the GT-R would fit a child seat too well :)

with less than 500 units per month, theres slim chance this will be cheap. every single time lexus says this will be price competitive, i know they are lying! whatever, i dont care...

Lexus ALWAYS understates their 0 - 60 times by at least .5 seconds. Here are the results of the 5 Top Luxury Cars in this test which was reported in the January Issue of Car and Driver. Please note these tests were all done on the same day at about the same time and at the same altitude. The results reflect the average of 3 runs and all cars are the 2007 vintage.

Mercedes S550 5.6, 0 - 60 quarter mile in 14.1 (Benz show 5.4 in their specs)
BMW 750iL 5.7, 0 - 60 quarter mile in 14.2
Jag XJ Super 6.0 0 - 60 quarter mile 14.5
Lexus LS460L 6.2 0 - 60 quarter mile 14.6
Audi A8 6.8 0 - 60 quarter mile 15.2

Note that Lexus, as usual, is more than the 5.4 the manufacturer CLAIMS to get by .8 seconds.

Also note the LS430 (prior model the LS460 replaced) was rated at 295 HP and was actually 278 when Lexus corrected their rating. And there were no refunds or apologies from the so-called "quality" car company. ABC - Always Be Careful what you buy from the (REPREHENSIBLE) Toyota/Lexus people.....
