The IS, both 250 and 350 are NOT problematic with boost though. The only issues posted about supercharged IS's are due to install error and have never even been major (MAF in wrong spot, BOV not connected properly). I drive mine hard and it's been boosted trouble free for almost two years at 7-7.5psi.
The price point is of course not for everyone.

Is it a hybrid?
With HP increase, we can't hold the temptation to go full rev vs. normal rev hence lower MPG lol. That was what I meant.

If you had the money, check and see if you can get a "used" LFA. That would be the best bang for a lexus street legal super fast car. ; P
