It is a great car performance wise...but does have some short comings. My biggest gripe is the stereo...a Mark Lev system would definitely be an IS350 option I would go for. Another big gripe is the amount of engine noise in the cabin. I hope the next IS will offer equal or better performance than my G and be a Lexus...meaning a high quality interior and a noise level maybe half way between the G and my old GS. The 6MT is a must, though. And I'll be waiting for the coupe/convertible. Actually, I hope they do a stand alone coupe...I fear the retractable hardtop will be too many dollars.

Smart Access– is that the feature where instead of having to touch the unlock button on the remote, the car automatically unlocks when you have the remote with you and you touch the door handle? Is the push-button start part of that too?
Miniplug adapter? Sweet! One of the reasons I've been looking hard at BMW, MB, and Volvo is because they have or will shortly have iPod integration. Nice to know that there's another option out there. A miniplug is almost as good to me as a dock connector.
Looks like the DVD-based audio system isn't standard like it is in the GS. I wonder if (and hope that) the ML will include the whole DVD system. While it really isn't all that useful, being able to watch DVD's in the car is a neat trick.

I have gotten a lot of flack regarding the transmissions available. I am using dealer info not future production plans. When the original IS300 came out everyone wanted a 5 speed. It arrived the following year. The 5 speed didn't sell well in the States. Since there are definite plans for a 6 speed IS250 it is not much of a stretch for Lexus to produce a 6 speed manual IS350. Since we know that they intend to run a race compaign with the IS350 in '06 wouldn't that be difficult without a manual shift? This is assuming they use a production model to race. I don't know the rules of the Rolex Cup and other race leagues but I'm interested. Team Lexus is run near here in Baltimore so I need to find out when any races are close enough to attend. Can you help flesh this racing question out for us Flip? What's good for Cali is good for Summit Point, WV.
