You are correct, I should have said the C63 AMG is the benchmark in terms of straight-line acceleration. Obviously there's much more to a well-balanced performance luxury sedan than brute force.

Not caring about the nurburing lap times? Or how is the car's perfomance over there? After all the work done over there.... nah, that is unbelievable.

Great gas mileage for the IS-F? As a huge accomplishment for the category? That maybe interesting, but matters the least when u talk about sports cars, perfomance cars. Hahaha, this aint the corolla thread !!!!!

As edmunds said, a nice first attempt for lexus.

But so much work has to be done to dethrone the germans competitors.

Even the lexus IS 350, in the last comparo, got fourth place against CTS, 335i, C350 and the all new champion Infiniti G35. So lexus, still has a few lessons to take. The same way other brands had to do, till finally, take over bmw, like Infiniti this time. And not only in this comparison, but in motor trends G37 vrs 335i coupe.
