Meanwhile, Lexus seems to be more than a decade behind the times with their latest "high performance" sports sedan. N/A V6 producing 311 hp and producing numbers on par with that 2007 330i.

Yep, the only reason the IS seems to exist is because its the gateway into the Lexus brand price-wise. Luckily for most Lexus customers, they couldn't give a damn about 0-60.

Its a shame too, because the IS chassis is not all that bad, same with the steering, and the reliability is of course fantastic, but the powertrain and transmission is a huge weakness and so is the infotainment.
