"In the admittedly go-hard-or-go-home crucible that is our figure-eight test -- in other words, nothing but limit, 10/10ths handling -- the Infiniti was at twice as much fun to toss around as the comparably buttoned-down Lexus. The IS350 felt sluggish, as if it hadn't had its coffee yet. The Q50S, on the other hand, seemed like it had just paid a visit and some cheddar to Walter White and Jesse Pinkman."

Also when you look at the IS350 vs Q50 video MT mentioned the stability control induced understeer on the 350

A kind soul posted the article with the scoring, the Lexus won because of exterior, interior, brake feel and driver comfort points not handling were both were tied.

On the topic of brake feel, the 335i has zero brake fade and stops better than the IS350 but lost one point on brake feel
