sorry itis still a japanese car, not need to compare

did you see 5th gear about 6 months ago when they tested the IS300 and he say IS 300 is less sporty than the 330i E90
so I think it will be the same for the IS500. Its not how good the engine is, it the car itself.

Japanese cars have surpassed German cars in many ways already. You listen to a car channel who was hosted by Cacasian and think there is no bias towards German and against Asian? They compared a last generation IS300 to a brand spanking new E90 which was introduced in 2006? And still expect the Lexus to beat the BMW? Mercedes-Benz is making shitty cars right now, all they know is put bunch of electronics which go wrong very frequently and easily and a huge engine into the engine bay and claims how much torque it has to burn the tires.....

I think Lexus did a good job with the new LS - turned my head when I first saw it.

I have not driven the new LS but think the short-wheelbase version is a pretty good deal.

If I was older and going to own a car for 10 years, the LS seems like a good bet given its reliability.
