Lexus now has it all. RELIABILITY and PERFORMANCE. This is an unstoppable force.

Very nice!!! They should have mentioned the gauge cluster is taken from the Lexus LFA. I am surprised they did not since nearly everyone knows.
Can you please put the numbers?? What did they look like?? Thanks.

The pic shows them if you scroll to the right. If you're on the mobile CL app, they're 42.5 (IS) vs 38.5 (3) vs 35 (ATS) vs 32 (Q50).

Interesting that the Lexus is the only one to have 4's and up in every category. I'm surprised how poorly the Q50S did. Looks like if they improved their steering/handling, they'd be back in the running though.

3: 4.9 s / 13.5 s / 0.87g / 124 ft
ATS: 5.4 s / 14.0 s / 0.89g / 119 ft
Q50: 5.3 s / 13.8 s / 0.86g / 123 ft
IS: 5.4 s / 13.9 s / 0.85g / 126 ft
The IS has the worst tires (Turanza ER 33) (3 has Potenza S001s) which explains the worst (not by much) braking and lateral grip. No surprise on the acceleration with the 3's turbo six...

I don't get why people are always surprised with the IS "doesn't feel like a traditional Lexus". From since the first generation the IS has been unlike a traditional Lexus. The new one follows that tradition.
