Not racists. Stubborn...... Many people are still stuck with their old mind set / memories and when it comes to European cars many people don't want to change their minds.
How can you even question European cars? They are European... I mean come on. Are you stupid.................. is the attitude.......
the thing i don't understand is why Lexus can't just put in a 6-speed manual and a switch to turn off the TRAC control and everything else in 350...cause that's wht's basially holding it back from the number 1 spot in my opinion....i would still take the IS over the 3 any day of the week...but i think it's a really stupid reason to loose to the 3-series

According to Lexus it's because of safety issues when all the nannies are turned off. But every comparison IS has lost to the 3-series until now was because VDIM couldn't be shut off.
Man if the IS got a 6 speed they would sell a whole bunch of them....we should have a poll or something and lets see who whould take the manual over automatic
A beefy, wedge-shaped body characterizes the IS. Although not as daring as the 330i's design, some of us preferred the more cohesive look, such as the way the front lower air intake and foglights echo the shape of the grille and headlights above. Then again, a few thought it bland compared to the Bimmer.
The BMW is daring while the Lexus is bland! What have they been smoking!?
I liked the prev. gen 3 Series better than this one.., Some people can't help but be fanboys.. it's a problem when they're the media though and have sheep that follow every word instead of doing their own research.

From every single comparison I've read the Lexus is being touted as being too isolated. I guess it is true when you got the electronics doing the driving for u. Might as well take the bus.
I am new to this thread but i realize that there are some problems regarding the 3 series. It is uglier than the IS and it is not even more powerful. It is even more expensive and then I couldnt get edmunds criticizing the IS when it is clear that it is the winner. I also like the 3 series interior and feel but the IS looks more luxurious and more comfy.(VDIM is a problem in the IS)
