I wish my IS250 had more power! Regular driving is fine but when I want it to go fast, it doesn't! I hope they make a better version! I might get the IS350 next!
If subsequent generations of Lexus IS come with a high power forced induction engines (e.g. 3.0 turbo/supercharged) with around 350 hp then I will switch back to Lexus. I am sure Toyota can come up with something like this, which will be smooth, powerful and reliable.
I heard some gossips that Infinity Q60, coupe, will be equipped with Mercedes 3.0 turbo, which currently can be found on C400. It is a sweet motor by the way.

If only Lexus offered a IS250 with more power (ideally 100 more) and with bigger brakes... but everything else stays the same.
Why won't they put a turbo in 350s? Is the cost a factor?
My biggest guess would be reliability. Lexus is legendary in that regard and turbos could potentially throw a wrench in the reliability and longevity of the engine.
