Anybody know how the tranny in the IS350 is? Never driven one.

The automatic transmission on the IS350 is quite good. Not as good as an ISFs but still extremely impressive when compared to slightly older manumatic transmissions. It lets you rev higher and longer without interfering. The early manumatics were pathetic, shifting gears both up and down entirely too early. The IS350 was and still is a very capable car with a great transmission. If the FRS/BRZ adopted that for their automatic, those who choose it shouldn't be disappointed.
As for Motortrend wanting more power, who doesn't? But if a Mazda MX5 can do a burnout, I'm sure the FRS/BRZ should be able to as well.
