omg.. please not the "mechanics" joke again... haven't it caught on to you that the mechanic sees the worst of their car company's brand?? I bet if you asks an Acura's mechanic, they would tell you not to buy acura because of all the issues.. well no duh.. they are the one that deal with bad apples every day...

btw... i was just using acura as an example.. and i'm not a vw or audi fan either...

^Buddy, this isn't MSN. Type normally.

Back on topic, I don't know how any car manufacturer can look themselves in the mirror and honestly ask for premium fuel for an engine that displaces around 200 HP. EG: 2008 TSX. Correct me if i'm wrong, but even the Accord V6 which makes more HP (vs the TSX V4) only requires regular.

edit: I'm right, it's regular unleaded for the Accord V6. http://automobiles.honda.com/images/...-factsheet.pdf

AND to add to the fact that a loaded G37X(non sport) costs only a bit more than the IS250AWD, but alot better when compared to the is250.

i swear lexus is smart in scaming c-lais, just look at the RX350, and then look at the "Ultra Premium Package".

I'm with this guy, the G37s are way better for the money considering you got a healthy v6 with way more power than the IS250. Its just too bad the IS looks a lot better IMO anyways.

I have a few family friends that owns is250 AWDs. From what I hear it's a very very
good al around car. The most complained about thing is definately the lack in power though
