    I vote IS350.

    Fast, smooth, comfortable and reliable.

    I gotta agree with you there.

    I might have to just wait for the next IS. It should look close to how the GS is, at least in the front. The new GS is a little too big and pricey for my budget.

    The current line of IS, G37, and TL just aren't convincing enough for me to trade my suv in.

    I just got a supercharged 2012 Jaguar XJL within the last two weeks. I am not disappointed

    I never liked the thick wood grain and weird shifter gate that Jags have. Great engines, but the interiors always seemed to be for old guys.

    Big fan of the new ones, especially the one you bought, but that is severely out of OP's price range.

    So I take it the Porsche Panamera Turbo S is not in the ball park for the OP.

    Those things are hideous. My neighbor has one and loves it, I think it looks like a deformed turd.

    The wife is thinking about the 2013 A4 or IS 250. Gotta go drive them both first but... Is the overall consensus here still Lexus>Audi?

    Most people who buy luxury cars don't keep them for long. Most of my friends keep it for its generation cycle, and upgrade when the new redesign comes out.

    So basically warranty covers more than half of the cycle, so either is fine. Both have awesome interiors. But Lexus is >>>>>>> Audi in terms of reliability. So again, if you plan to drive your car for 5+ years, definitely get a Lexus.

    New GS is deemed better than the 5 series now. New LS looks awesome. And new IS comes out next year.

    I've had both an Acura TL and a BMW 5 series. The driving experience is light years better with the BMW. I would spend the extra money and go with it every time.

    Well it's $15-20k difference at least b/t the 2 cars. That's 2 different budgets.
