I’ve just noticed that BMW owners are now taking delivery on the updated 2011 335
(called 335si) which upped the HP from 300 to 322 and the torque from 300 to 332.
That makes 2 updates of the 3 series during the life span of the of the 2nd generation
IS series.

What will be Lexus’s response?

Let me guess….(how can I attach the sound of crickets in the background?).

 

llama has a secret leaked picture of the 3rd gen IS. i'll let him post it.

but i can tell you inside sources confirmed that the new 3rd gen IS will have 1.21 gigawatt of power.

while the new 335is(it's is, not si like you mentioned) only has sad 239 kilowatt(0.000239 gigawatts)




here's the secret lexus powerplant that's in development.







(btw, nice troll attempt. i lol'd)

 

335 now has the "IS" tag...LOL

 

Great. Has BMW found a way to avoid the massive widespread fuel pump failures on the 335? Or replaced the 1980s interior? (looking at your pics, apparently not..) Or cut the price by 10-20 grand so it's genuinely comparable to the IS350 when you put any options on it?

 

1.21 gigawatts? great scott!
