I love how the IS feels when driving it except the lack of power. I guess that would fix that, right? Pretty cool, but Im still gung-ho over the CTSv.

I guess sport 4 dr lux sedans are moving into the spot light, eh?

I've read here before on this board the next gen Supra will be back on the IS300 platform with a V8. If that is true, then the Supra will return in a few years as a reskinned IS430.

Speaking of IS300 and power... I was impressed with the amount of torque you get from this 6 cylinder engine. The nice feel of transmission shifter, RWD, handling, and acceleration are above average, even with the I6.

On another note what I didn't like is that brake and accelerator pedals are too far apart, so you can't be breaking and revving the engine up at the same time when taking a turn.
