Made my actually laugh out loud! |
I think 70g is perfectly accurate for the following reasons:
-Motor transplant, V8 400 est hp, Yamaha tuned -19" wheels -Big brakes (probablynamed) -Upgraded Suspension -Wide Body kit -DSG type transmission -Unique interior (e.g. seats) You add all that up and tack it on to the MSRP of a loaded 350 and you have 70 grand easy not to mention the "prestige" and uniqueness factors. |

70K is insane price for this small lexus. I am sorry, but it's not a Porsche. |

One reason is because a little 4door Lexus (think of it as a 3series)...topping out at 70g's? No. Think of the current IS350's...what are they like 40 maybe? Add 30g's worth of stuff onto that and you get a supercar that has 15 different companies put into it with all the mods you could do for 30g's. As well with body paint nonexistent caused by all the decals you'd have on the car with all the different company names that are now in your car. I'm not going to say that you can't "put" 30 grand into an IS, but a factory can just simply not mass produce a pre-modified car. Not even in Japan, where land is cheap and labor's even cheaper. Even think of it as a 3series...you could price one out for 40 fully loaded...maybe more, but not more than 45...and you still wouldnt get a lady friend or a blow *** with it. For 70g's you best be gettin some hot Japanese chick that knows--as I was saying, factories can not mass produce certain things. I mean...even if it started at 50g's...what are you getting at 70 that you wouldnt at 50? for an IS...I mean, cmon people. So, with great pleasure, I am proud to say that some Road and Track writer lost his job! hahahaha...that's horrible, but still...why would he write such a thing.... He might as well have just made an advertisement! 2008 Lexus IS 500 8 Speed DSG WITH A CLUTCH! (haha) 22" Clear Rims Dustlest, Fadeless, Invisible Brakes 163 Coats of Paint 35 TV's 18 subs Seats 4 Comfortably 0-60 in just under 4.000001010101 Exterior Blue Neons (they're legal because Lexus bought your local authorities!) $55,000 Hot Japanese Girlfriend not Included, but for 20g's we can talk. Ok, I'm done ranting for the evening, and I am going to sleep. I'll think of more funny stuff by tomorrow, don't worry. -adam |
t's going to be a long trip from an SC to an LF, beleive me...so if that happens, I'll change my thoughts about a 70g 4 door "go-fast" sedan from Lexus. I still do like the IS350 though...very fun car.
-ajk[/QUOTE] ...but the IS500 is a 2 door coupe. Why's everyone assume it's a four door saloon?:uh: |

I think you really don't know what you're talking about. The question of whether or not Lexus will be producing an IS500, or IS-F has been put to rest long ago. The answer is yes...they are going to make one. Whether or not the price tag will be 70k is the real debate here. And I'm almost 100% positive this car is not just an IS350 with a v8 crammed into it. Do your research RX driver

$70k is possible.
I am not saying it will work, purely from a price standpoint it is doable. Regular S4 costs like ~$52k RS4 costs like ~$70K It's just more specialized and finely tuned which commands a higher price for those that appreaciate such efforts of factory tunning. |

Let's see how many LS460L's are sold, for 100grand a piece before we talk about IS500's...
It's almost like a VW Phaeton...why? I think if the LS460L's don't sell too hot, then 70grand would be pushing it... Now some of us think the IS is going to be four door and others 2 door. That'd be awesome if they did both i.e. G35. Then maybe they could squeeze 70 out of one of the two. |
