Do they make an AWD version? :thinking:


edit:

IS250 = AWD = 204HP
IS350 = RWD = 306HP

but I'd die in a RWD from November - March of every year. :sad:
Don't worry about it dude! Everyone thinks driving RWD in the snow is impossible, but really its just a matter of knowing how to do it and having decent tires. Think about it, swedes and bavarians have been making fairly powerful RWD cars forever. I've driven a 77 Olds 403ci 4bbl beast, a supra turbo and a 760 turbo in Colorado winters, all of which had highly questionable tires... I just drove carefully when the conditions warranted, and never had a problem. Honestly, my EG is harder to drive in the snow with Yoko all-seasons than any of those cars were.

RWD isn't a snow-driving killer, don't let it hold you back from getting what you want! :thumbup:
