how the hell is this even possible? are you sure your friend doesn't have the SX? R/Ts are a little out of reach aren't they as they're almost reaching the 400/400 mark?
It can keep up with pretty fast cars.

I don't know if it's just me, but I seem to have this problem with Priuses. Every time I pass one on the highway they decide they want to chase me. I had one chase me up to 100MPH, its a GD hybrid with no *****, and he was still chasing me. I'm just guessing these tree hugging hippies (I apologize if a fellow CL member owns one) just want us to know that , "Yes I look silly in this Prius, but I can go fast too. Eventually..."

If im getting a 3rd gen is350 is because it looks classy/sporty, small compact, sedan, daily driver. Not looking to race anyone. Wished they would make a isf on with this base model since the booty looks soooo nice.

I feel as if sometimes people do that sort of stuff on purpose. Many of times I would be going on the fast lane about 10 miles over the limit, and I have a either a Prius, Corolla, or Civic get in the fast lane as Im coming up and slow down to about 15 under the limit.

Am I missing something? The 3IS must be a lot slower than the 2IS. My 2IS (350) does 0-60 in under 5 seconds predictably and users have reported times in the low to mid 13's. Name a car that comes close, the only cars I can think of off the top of my head are the Camaro SS and the Mustang GT 5.0, none of those cars are cars I would want to own, but even then, they are marginally faster in a real world scenario. Perhaps it's a 3IS thing, but the 2IS is a very quick car, quicker than all but the higher tier sports cars.

found this...maybe motor trend had a bad day? this site just says that numbers are from "credible sources," but i'll fly w/ it:
http://www.zeroto60times.com/vehicle...-60-mph-times/
if you scroll down to about the middle, 2014 is350 f sport 0-60: 4.9 sec/ qtr mile: 13.4 sec. doesn't say if it was rwd or awd

I haven't seen any reputable sources get numbers like that on a 3IS but it sure would be nice! Car and Driver got 5.6 seconds on a RWD IS350, and Road & Track got 5.4 out of theirs.
