Good article...

Thanks

 

Interesting points about the necessity of rwd...

 

I consider IS350, ES350 and G35. Bimmer was not worth keeping after 3 or 4 years, so that was out .... Still went with type-s after going with Acura all my driving life ... LOL

I thought IS350 has more than 300 hp ... ?

 

In real world (out-the-door) pricing, the TL-S undercuts all the cars mentioned in the article (except the G35) by $5-10K when comparably equipped. The G35 sport would likely cost $2-3K more than a TL-S. I always find it annoying when write-ups suggest a 335i as a car that is priced similarily to the TL-S...even though the TL-S is loaded as a "base car" and the 335i is anything but as a "base car". BMW = lot of very expensive options.

 

Yes, the IS350 has 306hp which is said to be under rated. Its probably more like 315-320. It also has a 3.5 V6 not a inline like the article says. I think its a typo and the just duplicated the BMW's specs.

 

Very Interesting article
