There are many reasons why the IS 250 is a much anticipated junior executive from Lexus. Firstly, it is not a secret that Toyota Motor Corp. BMW 325i primarily and even for that matter, the Mercedes-Benz C230 V6. Secondly, it is one of the rare Japanese sedan of this class to have a front-engine/rear wheel drive layout. Last but not the least its premium pricing versus once again, the other Teutonic junior execs. Hallmark of any Lexus is the 'dead' silence experience of refinement. I must say the IS 250 cabin must be one of the quietest around, possibly even better than the GS300. The 2.5 V6 is just as sonically muted, picking up revs with sheer smoothness and finesse. Pleasantly torquey too for a normally aspirated motor. I can safely vouch for the lower decibels of rolling noise from the Bridgestones here, as opposed to the Yokohamas shod on its elder brethren, the GS300. Deserving a compulsory mention is the superbly pliant and comfortable suspension of the IS despite its shorter wheelbase relative to the GS. In the IS250 everything just felt so well-oiled, silent and refined in execution. Lexus engineers’ attention to details is amazing, an example being the extendable padded door pockets with a water bottle holder. It was a short drive and it will be unfair to pass a verdict on the IS’ handling. While the steering is accurate with just-adequate feel, the initial impression was that the rack weighting was more on the lighter side, as sampled on a few occasions at three digit velocities. Tracking stability is acceptable but the overall feedback from the chassis and suspension is perhaps a little soft and light. All for the goodness of ride comfort and super compliant damping I guess.

In photos - Mercedes G 63 AMG with wheel 6 x 6. Before us - the factory pre-production car made directly by employees of Mercedes-Benz. If incredible pickup like the potential buyers, the car put on the conveyor. The basis of this monster - triaxial chassis Rover Mercedes G 320 CDI. These are the army vehicles, for example, in the Australian Army in 2011. But the body is, of course, the original, with a double cabin and cargo compartment, trimmed with bamboo trees. The length of this modification - 5875 mm, width 2110, height 2280 mm, respectively. Instead of the traditional beam axle engineers have installed portal, increasing clearance from 210 to 460 mm. And lock differenitsalov here already five - the three from the usual Gelendvagen plus another interaxial between second and third bridges and cross-axle third axis. Instead of 185 hp 3.0 turbo diesel from a donor set here the mighty 544-hp V8 5.5 with two turbochargers. Five-step “automatic” NAG1 also gave way to a modern automatic transmission AMG Speedshift Plus 7G-Tronic seven-bands. Permanent all-wheel drive distributes traction between the axles in the ratio of 30/40/30, and all locks can be used on the move, regardless of the mode the transfer case. Also on the move, and the system is able to operate adjust the tire pressure. For example, to raise the pressure from 0.5 to 1.8 bar, it takes 20 seconds. And at this point in a four-room cabin riders enjoy the standard Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG. Here customers will and genuine leather on the center panel and seats equipped with ventilation, and a multimedia center with navigation and a luxury sound system. If the project given the green light, the first production Mercedes G 63 AMG 6 x 6 may appear in October 2013. Estimated price - 350,000 euros.
