    Car will pass any current emission test in Ontario.

    Real way to test it is run it on a dyno

    luv the dyno idea
    even if car loses 10% torque and mileage
    if they give $5500 that buys a lot of fuel
    for $1000 to $2000 think you can receipt engine and DSG tranny to make more torque

    I bought my wife the 2015 IS250 F Sport, we've had it just over two years, now has 38K on the clock and 5K I just put on it this last week I took it to Florida and back 5400kms in less than four days. The car took it like a champ, never missed a beat, rode great and I realized why I bought it. averaged 9.2L/100KM on the trip, usually gets around 12 in the city, exactly what my old BMW would get.

    I drive a 2016 F150 as my daily and I won't change that, but Lexus has the upscale feel and performance without the BMW/Mercedes price tag. Car takes regular 87 octane and uses Toyota parts for brakes etc.

    After this, I was considering the Hellcat Jeep, but it will have a hefty price tag and will suck gas, so we'll see. Another IS or stepping up to the GS is an option too.
    Lexus is very close to BMW/Mercedes as far as price, they are direct competitors, Lexus is not a step down from them. The IS isn't based on any Toyota as far as I know, unless maybe a model in Japan, so not sure how they would use Toyota brakes, the only ones that would may be the older es, since they're a Lexus Camry. We actually had a 2014 in for service a few months back and the brakes were massive, not really off-the-shelf Toyota stuff, although still likely cheaper than the Germans, but not by much.
