u have a choice between a Camry and IS350...
GO FOR THE IS350, i think the redesign is commin out soon though

 

I think the redesign for the IS350 will be for 2012 assuming a 6 year cycle, but how is the Lexus IS350 RWD for Michigan winter weather? The reason I am considering the Toyota Camry SE V6 is for the FWD traction during weather season. Which is better for winter snow season, Lexus IS350 with snow tires or Toyota Camry SE V6 FWD with snow tires?

I know I can get the Lexus IS250 AWD 2.5 L 6 cylinder, a weak Toyota Camry V4 2.4L, but the Lexus IS250 is slower than a Toyota Camry SE V6. I plan to keep the car for about 10 years, and a four cylinder Toyota Camry or Lexus IS250 AWD will lose more power as the car gets older then a V6. For example, I have owned a 150,000 mile 1991 Toyota Camry and a 200,000 1994 Toyota Camry V6, the 200,000 1994 Toyota Camry V6 can drive up a steep 1 mile incline, but the 150,000 mile 1991 Toyota Camry V4 has a hard time driving up a 30 degree incline.

 

Anyone know the where I can get the front bumper?

^ its a photoshop

 

maybe 1k for a front bumper???

 

Really for only 1K for a custom bumper that is cheap considering Lexus ISF bumper for the Lexus IS350 or IS250 cost 2k. Can any body shop do custom front bumper fabrication? What kind of work is involve? How to they many the molding? How about customizing the Wald ISF bumper onto the camry SE?

 

buy the is350. buy a cheap awd corolla/toyota for winter. problem solved.

 

i would go with the IS, the camry is not even up to par with fit and finish and luxury amenities, if you can afford the lexus then i'd say go for it, the IS250 AWD isnt bad either, its not fast, but its definetly not slow also, i find it easier to maneuver in the snow with RWD during winter than it is with FWD, with RWD the car will go wherever you want it to, you just need to play around with the throttle and counter steer, so FWD is not necessarily safer than RWD.

 

Damn I don't see why people like to ask for bad comparisons.. Of course IS350 would kick camry's @ss in terms of performance, feel, quality of cabin and features.

Maybe I should make some threads asking "What's better Aurion or BMW M5" "Camry or Mercedes CLS AMG 63" :Bruce:

 

Damn. Did you read the first topic? I did not ask to compare. I don't see why people do not read the first post. I asked, if it was possible to mod the Toyota Camry front bumper or if a body kit on the market exist. Of course, Toyota Camry will kick the Lexus IS350 during the winter months because Toyota Camry has a better traction with FWD during rain & snow.

 

When driving at normal speeds, I agree with Kotik that RWD has better traction than FWD. But all this is moot because traction control is available for both cars. Still though, I would rather have a RWD car than a FWD car even if both had traction control.

 

You can do anything, as long as your willing to pay. The correct question is not how to or can i? It is How Much?

 

^ Lexus do have a switch to switch off traction control... temporarily (until engine off).

 

The Kotiks of the world have feelings and opinions that are of course are 180 degrees off of the facts....

 

why not an es350?

same everything as camry just way nicer, and its FWD

plus its a 3.5 with 286 hp vs camrys 3.5 268 hp

 

This thread is now pointless because of the new..

2011 Lexus IS350 AWD...
