Like it or not if the Millen IS 430 is proto-build...
Like or not, if the IS 430 comes through as it appears it may.....this car will blow so many cars off the small sport sedan mark...it will be a decisive victory for Lexus, period
..I would expect the car to cost a premium, but priced below the other's....maybe $38,000 ?
..the car stock at 350 HP....WOW !! see Acura, BMW, etc....those will just be chump change

about weight distribution... If i remember correctly, I believe the 3UZ-FE is actually lighter than the 2JZ-GE because of aluminum vs. cast iron construction. Whats the IS300's weight distribution? If its slightly front heavy, maybe this will help it bring it closer to 50/50... and in that case, with a good, stiffer suspension setup, I think we have a serious M3 a$$-whooper on our hands... or so I dream.
