If you are a driving enthusiast, and the IS350 fails to fulfill your standards, you should understand that it was not meant to. They were trying to capture the market of people who want a softer and less involving ride. Because for them, that's where the money was.
Yep, totally agree. Toyota does a good job with what they do. I know they are not building cars for insane people like me who want to do 130 on a mountain road in the rain. If they were they would be doing a terrible job. I'd take an STI over anything they make though which is why I hope Subaru is doing most of the designing on this one.
