Whoa there cereal.
The ones with port injection shouldn't have the carbon issues. Although I have actually seen some cases of carbon buildup on Port injection.
And looky
lexus IS specs. The DI only 2.5L(4GR?) gets 12.0 SCR while the D4-S 3.5L(2GR?) gets 11.8:1. People wanting a decent turbo engine will probably want <10.5:1 or so going off the Mazdaspeed3 setup.
BTW, 0-60mph in <8 seconds for base $33k 3400lb sedan. whoo boy that's fast and affordable.
Now I'm feeling particularly violent just thinking about all the people whining about this car being slow
and ugly. I'm going to eat some dead animals/plants and then kill some sick people(L4D2) to vent my frustration.
