Wait a year, if all the rumors prove to be right the IS460 will have similar HP for $20K less and more reliable to boot. I'm in SoCal so AWD does nothing for me.

Since that pic was in cali, probably southbay area and toyota is based in Torrance I would assume it's a preproduction car. Doesn't look all that bad I guess...I'm still not sure of the looks but the new 3.5 liter engine should be nice.
I don't think its a preprodutction car. If I'm not mistaken, the IS is already out in Japan. Oh yeah, thank god they got rid of the Altezza lights. The worst design detail of the current IS IMO. Now, if only Mazda would stop it too.

Autoweek got misinformation. The RS4 is going to start at $55k. I can't believe Autoweek reported a $78k price tag.

a regular S4 starts at $46K....no way an RS4 is gonna be $78K (almost double).

use that as a gauge....
