I like the 09-10 the best. Especially the taillights.

IS350 AWD is a nice surprise.

I was thinking it was going to be IS300 AWD.

dunnojack

truth.


just look at the LS600h.

someone swapped the acura logo with the Lexus one...

Definitely not Lexus' best.

But we've seen worse from others.

This IS350 (AWD?) sits much higher than my 335 x-drive coupe. No worries about ground clearance with that.. Wow..

Are the tire profile the same on the AWD model? Logically if you have a higher sitting car, you should not have low profile tires. Beefier tires would minimize the wheel gap.

OMG really, looking at wheel gap from one pic? Really?

Sorry but the AWD 3 has wheel gap as well. These are AWD vehicles.

Och

The AWD version of 3 series coupe looks ridiculously fugly with the ungodly wheel gap. It may not be that big of a gap, but it completely throws the proportions of the car off. And according to many owners, AWD versions do not handle nearly as well as the RWD.

Not as severe as this Is350. Need I post side by side pics with my lowered
GS400 or your GS450h? Every vehicle, including sport pack & M cars from BMW, has wheel gap..

Drive both X-drive & rear drive non-sport before you pass judgement. I had both rear drive sport and X-drive 335 coupes.. The X-drive suspension has a firmer suspension than the non-sport coupe and actually hugs the corners better. Sport pack is a different story and out does both.. As far as wheel gaps, it will vary as some sport pack/xdrive/non-sport cars sit higher or lower than others..

Here is my sport pack 335

Not really sure what anyone is trying to prove here? One is a dark car and the picture is taken from the top-down. The other two are white and taken at a lower level. Nobody even knows if that gray car is the IS 350AWD, and if they did, any comparison about tenths of an inch in wheel gap would be IMPOSSIBLE to resolve due to the picture angle.

To be completely honest, the front wheel gap on both of those 3s is pretty ungainly...

Wheel gap is one of the newer bish points for non enthusiasts to complain about. I've seen it all over "OMG look at the wheel gap". I can understand saying something like "wow that car has wheel gap" but to look at one pic of an AWD car and try to point it out when other cars are similar is ridiculously funny.

Its expected though. I come here for the humor

Wheel gap measured in terms of fat "fingers" is a joke in itself. I see this over on the IS section sometimes.

But I've seen only 2 AWD IS250's in California and it did look a bit jacked-up.

Pretty much the same I'd say. Why even bother bring up the 3 by the way? SMH
