Actually, no IS350 in Europe either, just N.America, Japan, & some other countries. They are already selling a IS300 in China with the current new body style, so maybe it's the same car . . .

Quick thought,why the hell wouldnt lexus give us the most powerful engines ? why make different engines for different parts ? doesnt make sense to waste money in different engine manufacture?

again the 300 engine IS NOT the inline 6, its a higher displacement version of the GS300 new generation V6, other places get the 300 because they dont have the 350. If you live in north america and you want more power, go with a 350

It probably won't sell since those who see the 306hp IS350 wonder, why not spend a bit more and get the M3?
Besides, they had the IS200 so the IS250 is a logical step and a good upgrade from the IS200. In addition, they now have the IS220d.

Who the hell in China can afford a IS300???
I went to China and 90% of the people cant even afford car, yet alone a new Lexus!
They need to bring the 3.0 to the US and put it in the IS250!!
