We can agree to disagree on that one. With as much driving as I do and my driving style I wouldn't buy a car with less power than what I'm currently driving. For freeway merging, passing, and occasional fun etc. I want the power to be there. Driving a turd brings no joy to my life. An IS250 is going to get similar gas mileage to what I'm driving now, especially the AWD variant like my brother has.
I'm getting 27-29 on the highway and have more than enough power for a daily driver. Why downgrade in power and get the same fuel efficiency?
