So Disappointed . Have been waiting and holding up to trade for 2nd gen IS350 for many years. Im waiting for the 3rd gen and the 306 horses still the same. I understand the whole new driving dynamic but 306 horses power to come along with the new speedometer inspired from LFA they dont match. The sound of the engine after watched the video Im so disappointed nothing make you like WOW. Probably driving my slow 250 until the refresh the new engine. I understand that If you alway wait then you will never get to enjoy anything. Infinity G37 sound amazing even tho it's slower than 2nd 350 but it will be redesign the next summer If Im not wrong even Acura TL it redesing on next year based on the info on Acurazin members. Why would we still have the same engine 3.5 since 2006. At least pump it to 320 or 330 horses and bring the 0-60 down to mid-high 4sec.

Even if it remains at same power it would still be quicker with the 8at. Not to say it isnt quick allready.
Since you have a slow 250 like I do, a jump to the current 350 is allready huge.
Dont fool yourself, after all it's a luxury sports sedan...they wont make a bomb out of it untill the isf comes out.

But maybe the final version looks different.
Edit: For me, the whole interior looks weird on the test car. It look like a mix of LFA and a Prius... Really hope the final version look better than this.

Let's pretend we can see behind the black tape and covering on the new 3IS dash, I still think the 2IS looks a whole heck of a lot more luxurious. I don't even think it looks as refined as the new GS even. I do like the new cluster, but will have to wait and drive the new one to see if its as "tossable" (more fun to drive).
