[nghi50]

Haha, they just took baseline numbers from other magazines. I don't think these guys did externsive testing, they aren't an automobile magazine.

[thestrawhead]

Did they actually drive a 350? Those 0-60 times are obviously with the T/C on. The mpg's are also way off.

[nghi50]

These guys know absolutely nothing about this car. The 2GR-FSE has won Wards top 10 for power and fuel economy, and implementation of a direction injection system. The 18-25 mpg figure along with the 0-60 time was incorrect. The actual MPG is 21-29, and 0-60 as quoted by lexus is 5.6, but all IS350 drivers know thats the high end number, you're looking at 5.0-5.2 0-60 times. I've pulled 4.9 seconds in my IS350 with stock tires consistently.
