    Yup. I believe the only manual transmission Lexus now offers is in the IS250.

    I was considering trading in our IS300 for the new 6spd IS250, but this car makes me want an automatic. That car is the hotness.

    the RS4 is in a different class than M3 and C63. S4 is in this class. the RS4 beats the M5 with ease on a track.

    The New M3 and the vehicle shown above will be in the same ballpark as the RS4. They will both have a V8 and be in the 400+ hp range. That is RS4 territory.

    Nice to see Toyota/Lexus stepping up it's game.

    They bring more attention to the car by masking the front and rear bumpers. It doesn't look like there's any noticable difference between it and the IS350 besides the exhaust.
