and Bmw's aren't overpriced

? To each their own I guess. Lexus has constantly been kicking ass regarding value in the luxury car department ever since toyota introduced the division.
Don't bring up that. It would be just like, domestic vs. import dollar per hp ratio argument. Yea, but put $3k in the Bmw and see what happens.
Bottom line is
335i= Great car for those don't mind spending money and would go balls out on a performance car
IS350= for the conservative type, appreciates performance at a "close" level but would rather spend that extra money elsewhere
Either way, both are awesome cars.
