History shows that it usually takes them about 3 tries to get a product right when competing in a new space.
They def have the cash. They've already bested the 7 series with the new LS460 hybrid, which has more power, better MPG, seamless hybrid integration, and a much better interior for less money. It looks better too.

I think one of the car magazines alreadly pre-tested the IS-F and they weren't too impressed with it. So much for competing with the M badge...

I test drove an IS before going across the street to the BMW dealer to test drive an E90. The IS was cheap, thin doors, plastic cheap interior, drove like a Honda Accord. You can put an F badge, M badge, XXX badge, it is still a piece of $#!+.

Wrong...the LS460 cracks the 6 digit price barrier and doesn't have any where near the road feel or overall driving experience that the 7 offers.

Hmm...better MPG and interior...that's all I'm seeing. Handling is worse. Looks are debatable...I like the 7 more.

I think the body designer of that car should be FIRED!!!

It is a cross between an IS350 and a Viper WTF???

I think they totally missed the boat with that design.

Sure its a bit ricey but it looks better in person. I saw it at the Chicago auto show a few months back and it looks very aggressive in person. I'm sure the e90 m3 will stomp it though.
