Lexus IS500

Surpris que cela n'ait pas été posté ici. S'il y a un ISF à venir et qu'il s'agit du Twin Turbo V6, ce IS500 avec le V8 semble être un très bon dormeur. Personnellement, je ne voudrais pas le V8 avec une Lexus plus douce. Toutes les voitures ne doivent pas avoir une conduite rigide.

Je ne peux pas dire en ligne si les embouts d'échappement sont de véritables soudures ou si ce sont des faux comme sur l'ISF.

Aussi ne peut pas trouver des informations en ligne sur l'huile ou diff refroidisseurs etc.

Une F90 M5 pourrait être agréable – stupide et rapide.

Une bonne voiture qui est lâchée par la ZF8 ; assez mauvaise pour faire quitter Biermann à l’entreprise.

Le meilleur pour aller Panamera TT ou M8 GC à rabais énorme, semble avoir une meilleure programmation de transsexuelle aussi bien.

M5 est bien mais je ne pense pas qu'il se compare en taille aux tailles IS et M3. L'IS500 a le gros moteur dans une petite voiture

Surprised this hasn't been posted here. If there is an ISF coming and it's Twin Turbo V6, this IS500 with the V8 seems like a really good sleeper. I personally wouldn't mind the V8 with a softer Lexus ride. Not every car has to have a stiff ride.

I can't tell online if the exhaust tips are true exhaust tips weldes or are those fake ones like on the ISF.

Also can't find info online on oil or diff coolers etc.

Exhaust tips are real tips, though they photoshop the gap so much it makes it hard to tell - if you bump up the brightness you can see they're slip ons or something similar. Usually if it's a diffuser it's directly touching the bumper somehow.

Closest thing you can get to a DCT E90M on sale today. The IS has basically been identical in size to the E90 since 2007? or so, whenever that first IS350 came out. That compactness matters, and not everybody wants perfect traction, or to be going 150 mph if they leave their foot to the floor for more than 15 seconds

M5 is nice but I don't think it compares in size to IS and M3 sizes. IS500 has the big engine in a small car

I agree. I parked my e90 next to a F90 M5 and it's massive. I never thought I would say this but I'd prefer IS 500 to current M5. There's something about a V8 inside a compact sedan body. If I had access to autobahn it'd be a different story obviously.

Isn’t the m5 well over 100k? And seems like more of a GS F competitor if I can remember correctly.

Looked up the price for is500, I might be wrong but seeing 68k

I agree that the IS500 is as close to an E90 M3 as is being sold today, but it's not a good substitute. I recently drove the IS350F, and the gearbox was a sloth and the steering was devoid of feel. The IS500 reviews suggest the same transmission and steering are used in the the 350 and 500, so I'd hang on to your E90's instead!
