IS350 availability
#16
I was hesitant to suggest my area is indicative of overall numbers as most of the 350's may be sold in other areas which would skew the numbers toward a higher count. NoVA does get some snow, but only rarely is it more than a few days total a year. I have also noticed very few of the 250's I see are AWD. Since I have an AWD Subaru and a FWD Honda I am not particularly worried about RWD. I also see fewer AWD bimmers thand RWD, though nearly every Audi I see is AWD.

That doesn't surprise me and it is the reason i always hesitate to generalize based on regional observation. I don't know what the current numbers look like, but I know 10 years ago 40% of the cars Mercedes sold nationwide were in California alone. I do stick to the numbers Lexus indicated several years ago that production of the 350 were between 15%-20%. In some parts of the country it is far less than that. In fact in most parts of the country it is far far less than that. California has always been a statistical anomaly in the luxury market.

They come in both RWD and AWD...like the 250.

I don't see very many around the Midwest either. I had to drive a few hours out of state to find mine ('11 IS350 AWD). The fact that it was looking for AWD made it that much harder too.
Overall I see a ton of IS250's, and for about the half a year I've had mine I've only spotted 1 additional 350. It certainly feels like 10-20% here.

I saw one AWD IS350 and that one was from Michigan.
Almost every sunday I see a 2007 IS350 in the parking lot at my church.
BTW, I'm originally from the east side of Allegheny county.

I have had mine since Jan. I drove 350 miles to get a 350 they way I wanted it. I have only seen 1 other on the road or in a parking lot since I got mine. I was shocked to see how rare they are. In contrast I have seen 2 IS-F's since I got mine. 1 of those belonged to a friend, but still.
