I went to my Lexus dealership and helping one of my friend to do a test drive. We made the comment one of the biggest shortcoming of the IS was the lack of a IS 350 AWD or IS-F AWD, that's why he would prefer the 335 XI coupe instead.
But one sale person made the comment that 350 AWD was coming in the fall. Does this sale person know something or is it just BS ?
I have my doubts this will take place. It is EXTREMELY rare for a car maker to add such a major option to a model that only has one year left. The costs for that is not justifiable. The 2IS is pretty much a lame duck and done at this point. The 3IS is overdue and should get all the improvements (AWD) to make it attractive. If true, this is a waste of resources and should have been added three years ago.
