Pendant cette période ou l'on parle beaucoup du pétrole et de son prix, il n'est pas inintéressant de se pencher sur la conso de la nouvele IS:
L'IS 250 manuelle offre les performances de l'IS300 avec exactement la même consommation que l'IS200:
0-100 8.1 secs (IS300 auto = 8.2 secs)
Vitesse : 230 km/h (IS300 auto= 230 km/h)
Conso en ville : 13.5 l/100 (IS200 manuelle = 13.6 l/100)
Conso extra-urbaine : 7.7 l/100 (IS200 manuelle = 7.8 l/100)
Conso mixte : 9.8 l/100 (IS200 manuelle= 9.8 l/100)
Pour l'IS250 auto, le bilan est encore meilleur du point de vue de la consommation sans sacrifier grand'chose sur le chapitre des perfs:
0-100 8.4 secs
Vitesse 225 km/h
Conso en ville : 12.7 l/100
Conso extra-urbaine : 7 l /100
Conso mixte : 9.1 l/100
Très belle perfomance d'économie pour la V6 2.5 auto.
Pour info IS300:
0-100 8.2 secs
Vitesses 230 km/h
Conso en ville : 15.5 l (16.1 Sportcross)
Conso extra-urbaine : 8.0 l (8.4 SportCross)
Conso mixte : 10.8 l (11.2 l SportCross)

Plus chère et moins performante que la BMW, la série 3 à encore de beaux jours devant elle, même si je trouve l'IS bcp plus belle !!
C'est pas en s'y prenant comme ça, qu'ils vont faire de l'ombre à BMW
C'est mieux pour nous, rouler en IS, sera tjs une marque d'exclusivité

Même si le tableau de chiffres bruts semble donner l'vantage à la BMW, quand on regarde de plus près, c'est une autre histoire. La Lexus ne joue plus dans la même cour elle est beaucoup mieux finie, (la nouvelle série 3 est de ce point de vue, ratée) mieux équipée, plus belle et plus fiable.

Just tested UK version of 2006 IS250 SE-L Automatic
As a former BMW 3-Series owner let me give you my perspectives of the new IS250.
Exterior and interior quality overwhelms you the moment you set eyes upon it. As good as the car looks in photographs, no picture really does it justice. Its sculpted surfaces look absolutely stunning in the metal. It's definitely a design that catches the eye of other road users. Compared to the ugly 3-Series which looks dull, dowdy and un-integrated in comparison, this is definitely round one to the Lexus.
The driving position is excellent with good views all round. The central and door arm rests enable you to sit very naturally and comfortably in the car. The steering wheel is adjustable for reach and rake and moves in and out to aid entry and exit from the vehicle. The leather seats envelop you and seem almost infinitely adjustable. The fit and finish is the best I've ever seen in a production car. Man, this thing makes even an S-Class look dowdy. The highlight of the interior, apart from the sheer quality of materials used, is the SatNav screen. In fact, I urge anyone who is planning to buy an IS to have this option fitted. The latest generation of SatNav system is the clearest and most intuitively easy to use one I've experienced, (i.e. versus comparitive systems in new A6, new Merc CLS and BMW 3-Series with i-drive.) The screen quality when playing DVDs is impressive. The surround sound system is equally stunning. The overall impression of the cabin is a serene cocoon that totally spoils the occupants. The sheer amount of electronic goodies offered is way beyond anything I've seen in any German car.
In motion, you are well insulated from exterior noise. This is a mini limo in every sense. The elimination of noise, vibration and harshness is unprcedented in a car within this class. The view forward and around the car is good and I wasn't aware of any blind spots.
Now let's get serious: driving impressions. This is not a hard edged driving instrument with tyre-shredding acceleration. But then it's not meant to be. It is about effortless progression. While the Lexus IS may not have 300+ bhp, it's no slouch. I didn't realise how fast I was going until the sales rep next to me coughed loudly. So be careful, this car is deceptively quick. At no time did it ever feel under-powered.
It corners neatly and I found the steering wheel to be communicative and direct without ever needing to fight it or adjust it mid-turn. The ride is firm but well damped. To me it provides a perfect balance between comunicative preciseness and comfort. The suspension has the kind of maturity you usually only find in much more sophisticated Benzes. I have no doubt that this will be a great car for long distance trans-European cruising. It feels as if it will simply demolish the miles.
The automatic gearbox is so good that I honestly wonder why anyone would ever want a manual one. Unlike our American cousins, who can't seem to get the hang of paddle-shifters mounted onto the steering wheel, I found them easy to use. You really can rev this thing hard and it will hold a gear. It didn't change up, even when I went right up to the rev limit. The changes down were unbelievably smooth; so much so that the car seemed to be matching the revs perfectly on downshifts. Very clever.
On the road, the car feels very planted and secure. As a rear-wheel driver, it imparts an excellent feeling of being connected with the car's chassis. It is agile and responsive, yet has excellent composure. It will take a lot to unsettle this car, even when cornering in the wet like today. The level of grip was completely reassuring. This is an easy car to drive and does not make any unreasonable demands of the driver. That said, you can have fun with it and push hard when you want to - safe in the knowledge that it is fully loaded with enough electronic safety features to correct even the most reckless of maneuvrers. I couldn't really 'push the envelope' on my brief test drive, but sensed it had much in reserve.
The engine is smooth and refined. It revs willingly and I had no problem pulling away from traffic lights in 3rd. If the 250 is this good, the 350 must be a monster. (Shame we're not getting it, but that's another story.)
You can engage as much or as little in the driving experience as you wish. Either way, this car seems to flatter your abilities and obey your inputs with alacrity.
In summary then, I have to say that this car is superb beast. It really pushes the game on in the category, and I have no hesitation in saying that I would prefer this car over a BMW 3-Series any day. This car does a great job in convicing you that there is much more to driving pleasure than than lurid tail slides and straight-line acceleration. On a practical note, you immediately sense that this will be an extremely easy machine to live with on a day-to-day basis.
Of course, it isn't perfect and it does have two glaring faults. One is rear cabin legroom, which is an inch too short. The other is the boot, which about the only area where a BMW outpoints it.
The new IS is simply a scaled down GS. So if space is a priority to you, go for the GS. Personally, I prefer the styling of the IS and am prepared to put up with its space deficiencies for the sake of having a car that is smaller and thus easier to drive around town. I don't think anyone who buys this car will be disappointed. I think the boys in Munich will thinking hard in between drowning their sorrows and getting bollocked by the Quandt Family. The IS comprehensively out-classes the new 3-Series. Let's hope at least one motoring journalist has the courage to admit it.
Can't wait to get mine.
