AUTO SPIES WORLD EXCLUSIVE: So you want to see the video proof of the new Lexus IS spanking the 06' 330i sport?

Today, I got to see first hand how powerful the new Lexus IS350 really is.

At the Taste of Lexus event today in Irvine we just happened to have our trusty like mini-video camera with us so we could show you the evidence, first hand...

I'd like to see a race track comparison though.

A few cones and one corner isn't much of a test.

Don't compare M3 to the IS350 because it in the Porsche segment. If you guys/gals want to compare the BMW M3 to the Lexus IS than wait for the IS460 super charger with 450-500+ horse power ranges than we compare. You know what I love to see the New coming M3 for 2007-2008 model with 425+ Ponies compare head to head with the Lexus IS 460 with 450-500+ Horse Power which should come about the same time. Can't wait to see the result. It would be nice to see the Lexus IS 460 beat M3, that would shut all of you 330 Lovers for good. And please stop your bitching and complaining and accept the fact the IS 350 beat the 330. But, don't forget 330 is still a great cars. Hey, I like BMW too especially the 650 coupe. But, I have to tell the truth, that the IS 350 beat the 330.

I did the Lexus ride and drive of the new IS 350 vs the BMW 330 (which was a sport model I might add). Hands down the IS 350 outperformed the 330 in every way shape and form. Not once, but every time they went against each other at all skill levels. The BMW website says that the base price of the 06 M3 is 48900. How does that even come close to the 06 IS 350 at an MSRP of 36944? The good news is I will still have 12000 dollars to tune my IS 350 with.
