basically i fyou look at the 3 series with comparable options, it's hard to get more expensive without someone yelling crazy

Pricing
Hi guys and gals,
First post here @ CL. nice forum..
I was first attracted here by seeing the new GS on the road. After researching I realized that it was just too expensive for me. I just can't see paying over 40K for a car at this point in my life.
The new IS looks about to be perfect.
I will tell you if I can get a IS250 AWD with Navi for mid 30's i'll be sold.
But I am worried about Lexus jacking up the prices like they did on the GS. Good news is that only ~200 HP should indicate that is won't be too expensive. Not many people will willing to buy a mid to high 30K car that only has 200 HP.
I guess we will find out a bit more on the 23rd.

coz' if that's the case, then for the life of me i wouldn't be able to understand why they build the is250 for here to begin with?!

I think there'll be enough differentiation among IS250/300/350 for all of them to coexist. The IS250 will always be a popular choice in fuel economy concious Europe & rest of the world, they don't even have the RX330, only the RX300 with the same body style.
