IS500 70 large? ouch..
 

Road And Track December issue suggests the IS500 will be $70k, seems a bit steep to me. :eek2:

wow, for that price, it better beat the M3. That does sound a lot and don't see that going to be the final price.

I think the IS500 sets target as BMW M3, AUDI S4, Benz C55 so it has to be on the high price line...

they mentioned possibly a DSG like transmission also

i'll stick w/ what i have, thank you very much.

Can't wait to test drive it once it's out! :cool:

it would be C63...

That's the only thing I think the IS should have in the first place... now the IS 6 speeds gear box doesn't work the way I expected!!

i'll still probably get it as long as that's not the base but the highest price, fully loaded. otherwise, that's getting to be kinda much....

Isn't that like a LS460 starting price?

And pretty close to a Audi RS4?

did they list any hp/tq or any specs? i think i'd rather put an S/C in the 350 and HOPE that they release some of the things they have in Japan for this car (as previously mentioned in another thread, i forgot which one) because i'd rather put in $10K in mods than trade in and pay another $40K+ for an upgrade.

on second thought... maybe i can win the lottery, keep my 350 and buy a 500 for the track =)

My next car is either going to be the IS500 or the GT-R.

It better destroy the new M3....and come with Japanese head at that price....


I'm also hearing the new M3 will little or no price increase over the existing model.

i have heard the number 415 hp

Road and Track knows next to nothing.

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