December 26th, 2007 03:26 PM #3It looks like they will sell models here without direct injection...
IS300 instead of IS250 & IS350...
The LS460 will probably come with the weaker 4.6 of the GS460.
RP Lexus lineup according to Vernon Sarne's article...
IS300
ES350
RX350
GS460
LS460
LX570
Just in case you are wondering which BMW the IS300 would go up against based on performance... that would be the 325i.
IS300
Power: 228hp * 6200rpm
Torque: 300Nm * 4400rpm
Transmission: 6-Speed Multi-Mode ECT Automatic
0-100km/h: 7.7 sec
Top Speed: 235 km/h
Recommended Fuel Octane Level: 95 or higher
325i Executive (P3.45M)
Power: 218hp * 6500rpm
Torque: 250Nm * 2750-4250rpm
Transmission: 6-Speed Automatic
0-100km/h: 7.7 sec
Top Speed: 242 km/h
(2008MY 325i 3.0i specs)
Power: 218hp * 6100rpm
Torque: 270Nm * 2400-4200rpm
Transmission: 6-Speed Automatic
0-100km/h: 7.1 sec
Top Speed: 248 km/h
In Japan the base IS250 is priced just a bit higher than an Evo X GSR. I'm guessing that the IS300 will be priced above P2.8M.Last edited by AG4; December 26th, 2007 at 03:49 PM.

December 26th, 2007 04:20 PM #5That could be a possibility, but for now it looks like Toyota is the only one serious in making a true global Japanese Luxury brand.
