They need to come to the U.S. where the IS250 gets it lugnuts handed to it by the 325i which is has more hp and is much faster and beats the crap out of the IS250 in every single comparo so far. Oh yeah BMW uses a detuned 3.0L in the U.S. market "325i" so they'll cry foul I guess. Either way consumers don't really care long as the car performs as the 325i does and underpowered IS250 doesn't.
