And that is for an automatic! Not bad for as tested price of $3470. Plus EPA rating of 19/26, but not available with stick and the larger engine. AWD is available. NOT an S4 but faster and cheaper. I bet there will be a lot less mecanical issues as well.

else on the road, unlike the S4.

Cant really compare the car to a 4 door, awd german luxo sedan.

Wickedated

Why cant you?

Pleasanton 335

you can, but it is not apples to apples.

The Lexus is a two door, japanese sports coupe. The S4 is a 4 door, german sports sedan.

There is also a 17k price difference.

If you want to do a real comparison, put the S4 up against a GS430, or M45.

Umm the is350 is a 4 door, and I believe a concept is the IS430??

Blau Flash

arent you selling your car?

Pleasanton 335

Duh...my bad. Still not in the same league, IMO.

newguy662

the s4 is based on the a4, but with a bigger engine,

same with the is350 to is430....

only difference is awd vs rwd...and japanese vs german....

i mean you are comparing it to a m35/45...thats the a6 mid size sport sedan...that would be like the a6....problem is no japanese car can really compare to the rs6...

1) loses 0-60
2) loses 1/4 mile
3) loses on price
4) loses on gas mileage
5) Probably loses on need for warranty work
6) probably loses on how owners are treated by
dealership
BTW, its $15K less than an S4
