meh. Acura is a glorified Honda.

I'm OK with that as long as all the asshats remember that Lexus is a glorified Toyota and Infiniti is a glorified Nissan.

Somehow many seem to remember the Acura/Honda part but forget the Lexus/Toyota - Inifiniti/Nissan part.

Couple of months ago, I went to the Acura dealer to buy my new TL. When I saw the grill on the 2009 model, I ran out,and straight to the Lexus dealer. Test drove IS250, what a dog that was. Test drove IS350, and that was MUCH nicer. Quick, comfortable and quiet. When I got home, I decided that the IS350 is a car for me. Next day before heading out back to the Lexus dealer, I decided to call another Acura dealer to find out if they had any 08 TL-S's left. Surprise, one brand new NBP left in the showroom in Calabasas (SoCal), so I bought it. To make a long story short:
IS250, nice car, but slow
IS350, nice car, quicker, but I still like my TL-S better.
IS-F, well, wow, but that's apples and oranges.

I wish thats what he meant, what he meant was that is just the car that he has, not that his IS350's would get owned by TL's. He was only stating that he has a IS350.... i think?

[QUOTE=JwongTLS;10626278The IS350 is QUICK for what it is(4dr auto). [/QUOTE]

I'd keep clear of the IS350 even if I had a TL-s:

2008 Lexus IS350
The Quickest Sedans of 2008: $30,000 to $40,000
Base price: $36,670
0-to-60-mph time: 5.1 sec
Quarter-mile time: 13.7 sec @ 104 mph

I guess we could say the TL-s is the fastest FWD in the category as it does just barely beat out the Buick LaCrosse Super by .1 sec, and the VW Passat 3.6 by .2 sec. With the times of some of the new cars out there, sorry to say, but let's face it, the FWD TL-s is not in the race car arena.

I like Lazar1389's comment about getting "destroyed" by a TL. I know the TL is fast, but never thought of it as a destroyer. Ha ha, that's good!

IS-F is apples and grapefruit. The IS are already over-priced. That IS-F is crazy expensive.

Holy crap the IS-F is expensive. I'd rather have an Audi S4 for the same money. It's German and all-wheel drive.. what more do you need? I assume I'm a bit partial because I originally wanted an A4 Quattro instead of my TL but for the money I couldn't pass it up.

My sister in law has an IS250. She has very bad brake dust on her front wheels. When my wife, her sister, asked her why her wheels where like that, "she said that her car was a performance car, unlike the TL". I almost died from laughing... Well, she is getting this link.

He probably was trying to say why would he race his IS350 against another car that would destroy him.

Btw, did anyone catch the date that the thread started? Almost a year ago. Fun fact of the day.

IS back seat is too small for humans. Honestly if I wanted an affordable coupe, I'd get a G37 which out handles an IS350 all day long. Even our TLS outhandles an IS350. The only advantages of the IS350 are super fast, superb 6 speed auto, excellent fit and finish. I don't find it particularly sexy though.
