I have an IS350 and ran a best of 12.84@109 and I have run a best of 13.3@105 bone stock. The IS350 is definitely not slow, but as others have said it is rather dull to drive. My runs are fast because they were all done in the Fall with sub 55 degree temps where the IS really shines.
I really enjoyed the OP's story as it hits home with me as I'm on the fence about getting the X and my wife just loves the IS350. I too started off with a 1990 Talon Tsi AWD that I loved and had for over 6 years. Since then I've had numerous cars including a 97 M3, 03 EVO, Accord Hybrid and now the 06 IS350. I have been watching the EVO X closely ever since I saw it in Detroit 2 years ago, paid a visit to the dealership the other week and have seen a few at our weekly car meet here in Northern Va. I absolutely love the looks and size of the EVO X except for the rear, but it's still fine with me. I'll continue to watch the EVO X in hopes of a 6sp manual tranny or possibly get a deal on an 08 X when the 09's start arriving.
I'm going to share this thread to my wife and see what she says.

HAHAHA great story...
but why didn't you just give the is350 to your wife and have her sell the accord...
Instead... you took a hit on depreciation, tax, and now your wife has done it again!
double fault... haha
but congrats and mom = pwn3d
