Default RWD Camry?

Lexus have released a new model that is quite interesting in that it is priced well in the Australian market and is REAR WHEEL DRIVE.

The IS350 is a 6 cylinder sedan with ballpark performance to a G6ET, legendry Lexus build quality and a RRP of about $57k.

While I suspect it is more aimed at Merc/BMW/Audi I wonder just how many potential G6ET/Calais sales it mght steal and if it does push into that market will there be an up market model between it and the ISF than might work against entry FPV/HSVs.

It is good to see some manufacturers going against the FWD "white goods" trend that has been growing steadily over the last 20 years.
