Didn't mean to imply that. Was just saying that, in thinking about it, the IS might actually fit better in a toyota showroom next to those cars. Badged as a toyota, and at a lower price point, I think it could make more sense (given the outdated platform).

They're actually doing this with the Harrier, aren't they?

On the other hand, Mazda is doing some good things:

If Mazda actually offered that they need to offer AWD if they are making the base RWD ... I had an Infiniti G50 RWD in Florida as a rental and I really liked it a lot .. I could totally own one (in AWD) except in the rain the rear end would come out and truthfully to me it was not in a fun way, AWD is needed even in the warm weather for a DD ... at least IMO.
As far as Lexus, it just sucks they gave up, I always liked the GS & IS models but they are outdated and unexciting. I will hold out to see the new IS in person hopefully it looks more up to date than that article. |

Completely get it plus Ford did a really good job with the Fusion ... it really is a beautiful sedan why Ford wants out of the sedan business kinda sucks ...

Yeah that looks very promising. I think mazda is my favorite car company now - one of the few who seem to still try and name cars that are engaging to drive, look good and have nice interiors at an affordable price. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
