14/18 in the ford, so I would figure on 14-15. I am getting 12 in my ford now....
not much of an improvement.

I saw that you drove a 350z the other day. I had a touring model. It was pretty comfortable and had decent pickup. The brakes are subpar though and the front end of the car just doesn't want to go where it is pointed. Very understeer prone. If you get one, make sure to keep an eye on the alignment. It tends to go out (~10k miles) quick and the front tires start to feather.
Have I convinced indirectly to just get a IX?

I wouldn't buy another toyota. they build a good vehicle, but they think they are made of gold... granted they hold resale value, but their whole vehicle line looks real bland right now. ford and nissan make the best looking full sizes in my opinion, but I just can't deal with another truck that doesn't break 15mpg. I know that they epa stickers list more, but real world, my friends are only seeing 13-15.
350 isn't happening. it was just too slow, and the "wow" factor wasn't there.

I had heard this rumor through the grapvine, but I couldn't get anyone to confirm it on the Vishnu thread for the dyno day.
