I don't think I'm a fan. The 250 AWD sounds the best, but then there's no power, and no manual transmission, and no ability to turn the "suspension babysitting" off. Too luxurious for me...I'd take a Z any day over that.

That's too bad they killed it... I would have loved a Toyota alternative to the 3 series.

They are trying to make an exciting lexus...interesting. They should stick to what they do well...make safe, reliable, safe, reliable, safe cars.

Well the first gen IS didn't have a manual at launch either so maybe there's hope.
