dis-lex-sic Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 As tomorrow is the first day we can see the new IS350 at the Sydney motorshow I thought it deserved its own thread. 234kw..... I think the pricing will be pleasantly surprising. I'm guessing we can expect it to start somewhere in the mid $60k(plus orc) bracket for the prestige. Which should put on road in the $70-75k price range. The F-sport is the pick for me. Its closest competitor is the BMW 335i. It has less power(223kw) and for more dollars $110,800.

DANSLEX Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Been holding out updating my car for this. Hopefully the price is right, otherwise a used 135i is my next choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilv1004s Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 350z? try 370z 370z 335 is350 a drivers race in the US though we get the JDM version which is the 350hpish car so it's quicker than the 335 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFist Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I was at a recent Lexus event and I was told the same. I also got complimentary tickets to go to the Motorshow also from Lexus. I'll be there this Saturday hopefully to check out the LFA too. 350's are highly rated in the US - Unfortunately our 250's get looked down too often it seems :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
col Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Im in love... want want want... Might trade up once i get to 30,000 km's... Just need the extra power ive been missing after selling the HSV... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantis Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 After convincing myself I don't need one, that price has lured me back in. What dealership are you at? I was at Sutherland 2 weeks ago for my service and once again they pretty much denied the car existed even tho I wanted to order one. They have virtually lost any repeat business from me.

Hopefully the price is right, otherwise a used 135i is my next choice. wow. bit of a difference in choices DANSLEX I miss having more power. I used to have a 300rwhp Soarer few years back and I miss fast accelleration. IS250 is quite a snail in comparison. 135i is a decent car, albeit ugly as hell hence why I prefer the Lexus. I read the price is gonna start in the mid 60s so not too bad. Probably bit more with the satnav and sunroof options, wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphire Cam Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Hot off the press, it looks as if the IS350 range will start at $64,800!! Dis-lex-ic's mail was right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dis-lex-sic Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 Probably bit more with the satnav and sunroof options, wait and see. $64,800 plus orc includes EMV(nav).........WOOOO HOOOO IS250 with EMV is $65k'ish rrp on road. The IS350 has EMV standard at $71k'ish rrp on road. Its 5 & a bit thousand extra for the IS350.................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The IS350 has EMV standard at $71k'ish rrp on road. Its 5 & a bit thousand extra for the IS350.................. Lexus Oz should just "replace" the 250 with the 350 if there is only 5k or so difference. People with a budget of 65k I think could find an extra 5 to get the faster donk. I can't see how they are going to move many new 250s if that's the case. I'm waiting for the 'catch' - maybe they might drop the 250 (Pres) back to low 50s?! I think they'll have to. Anyway we'll see what the typically pro-European anti-Lexus mainstream media will now say about Lexus having a genuine 335i and C280 fighter for 30k less than its competitors.

DANSLEX Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Only 5K more than 250?? Awesome!! :) Makes sense though, the car is essentially the same, just different donk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazk Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Wow - surely they'll have to drop the price of the 250?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilv1004s Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 lexus targets different demographics for the IS250 and the IS350 so thats y they have both 5K for extra 80ish kw is a bargain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
