A G37 or M35/37 (or whatever Q stupid number series its called now) with the Nismo treatment would be cool to have. That IPL line or whatever that s*** is certainly doesn't do anything remarkable for the car. Reminds me of Toyota/Lexus.
Thinking about it- I really, really like the new IS250, but goddammit; what other 38k luxury cars come with only 200 horses these days? Even worse, there isn't even a manual option! At least they got the drive wheels right, but man, thats just silly. The IS250 F Sport is only a grill/seats/appearance package. No bump in horse, makes a slight mention of a better suspension setup, but I'm betting that an Altima is more of a hoot to drive- even in automatic.
I started checking out the new RC coupe, too. 300 horses? A little low for the segment, but cool. Decent suspension on the F Sport? Ehhhhhh, a back to back drive would determine its value. An 8 speed auto with flappy paddles only? WHAT. THE. FLYING. f***. Even the ISF is an automatic only car! The flagship performance coupe- the RCF- doesn't have a manual option either.
Those new commercials Lexus has out are nothing more than wet dream d!ck teases. They promise performance & driver oriented vehicles, but all you get in reality is some watered down vehicle with performance numbers that were barely the standard 8 years ago. Its like farmersonly.com- sure, theres a preachers daughter or two on there, but all you're really going to get is a fat chick with 3 kids and a methadone problem.
