I'd be all over an IS350 if it weren't RWD. Those aren't too great for the Chicago winters.
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:
:lmao: Whaaaat? Chicago has weak ass winters. You guys average 38 inches a year :rofl: RWD plus trac control/stability control is so unbelievably easy to drive in the snow. Believe me dude, you wouldn't have any problem in an IS250 in Chicago. I drove a Lincoln LS V8 once through a snowstorm with like ~5 inches of snow on the ground and it was really easy with the traction control on. Really slow and probably tore up the brake pads, but really easy.

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:
