I think the IS500 is a fairly good deal price wise. Its just a very Lexus car. Sort of lazy transmission, auto only and a bit outdated feeling. I’m kinda left wonder who is this car is for.? Most of the Lexus crowd probably wouldn’t care if this were a turbo 6. Honestly a turbo 6 would give you a better performing car. So the audience probably really wants a v8.
Someone who really specifically wants a v8 probably isn’t going to be put off by dated tech, but they’re going to have more than a passing interest in performance. You can get a mustang mach 1 or a base ZL1 around the same price. Those are going to be much sharper cars even in auto.
I’d think most of the people moving from older german cars with an aversion to the newer turbos would be put off by the dated tech for a new car.
I think it’ll do fine. Its just a bit of an odd duckling.
