Anyone do an "extended test drive"?
All.. I own a 2010 IS350 and I'm kicking tires between an IS350 non F sport, Q50S and ATS 3.6. One of the things i want to do with all 3 cars is take an extended 100 mile or so test drive that has both freeway and twisty bits in the route to compare the cars. The other 2 cars had no problems with this but my Lexus dealer was not at all willing to let me do this with the IS350.
So anyone else taken a longer than average test drive on the IS350??

Back in the late 80's and early 90's car dealers would let you take a car home for the weekend. Which was pretty crazy sounding but it happened to me a couple of times were I wasn't sure I wanted the car / truck or not. Dealer let me take one of their loaners for the weekend. Didn't go on any crazy long trips or anything. But both times I ended up buying a car and a truck from them.

Resale/reliability alone I would count out the ATS (yes I own 3 GM products). The Q looks nothing like a IS so it would be matter of preference at that point.
That being said some dealers will do this for used cars but rarely on new ones.

Only way I could see this is if you were a long time Lexus owner who has purchased a couple of them from the same dealer. Also Infiniti and Cadillac are probably more desperate for sales than Lexus right now.
