Nah, that rude poster is like any other member in any message board. You can say the same thing about BMW owners too or Mercedes. There's always a bad apple.

Wow! IS350. How do you like it?
Its no BMW I can tell you that...
BUt sure hell does have a lot more features and functions and toys... Acceleration is very decent. I cant tell if its better than the 545 yet or not... still in break in. Seats are more comfortable. Steering is a little light... less feedback... more wind noise than the E60 at speed... smaller than the E60
Other than that... very decent car. But looking at the maintence schedule and I have to pay ARGH! Now I appreciate BMWs FULL maintence program.

The IS350 is getting some pretty decent press coverage, and at least one of the US mags turned in an astonishing 0-60 (5.2/5.3 or thereabouts). Make sure you post back once she's out of break in with your take (we need to know whether or not we should mess with the IS350!! 
) And congrats on the new addition.

My Ride: 2008 X6 xDrive 3.5
The IS350 is always on the top of my shopping list for the next car for my wife. Last time I bought her a RX330 and she kept bugging me to buy her a new sporty car since day 1! 
And last night I saw an IS350 and an e60 side by side right in front of me. Their tails looks very similar at night in terms of design and lights configuration. But the bright blueish LED licence plate light on the IS is just so much more beautiful than our e60 ones.
