I don’t work in the Sales Dept, so I really don’t know. You’d have to stop in. I can refer you to a great salesmen, if you want.

Yes, how’d you know I work a 3 day work week? Stalker…lol

Seriously though, its really not bad. I work 7:30am-9:00pm, 3 days a week. It sounds really rough, but it actually isn’t bad at all. It free’s up the other half of your week, to do whatever you wanna do.

Its some old Toyota Racing Development designation.  
Lexus fucked that car up in comparison to the old IS300.  
Its just another bloated pig now instead of a sporty machine.

IS-FAG lol.

nice car. a little overdone ie riceresque.

the old IS300 is far superior in the looks dept other than the taillights. id like the ability to fairly easily swap a supra setup in the old IS as well.

im not sure what it is about that, but its a trend on the new cars. is like they are cutting corners and trying save parts, but they putting completly useless and hideous tips on a straight pipe.

i ordered a new muffler for my 96 grand am and they sent me one just like this and i was going to cut it off and put the old tip on, but it was just too much work. i now have two different tips and it just looks retarded.

People keep bitching about weight…

This isn’t the early 90s anymore…cars weigh a lot more now…between added technology + safety requirements…

I will go ahead and disagree with every statement you mad there.

-“F” is the new sport designation Lexus is dubbing their pricey fast cars.

-That car, in comparison to the is300 makes it look like a toy.

-And go see one in person, by no means is it boaty and the thing did a great time at every major circuit track it has been tested at. No its not a hands down sports car but by no means is pure luxury… they say it does circles around the m3

They say you are wrong, the only thing that is faster than the new M3 in a straight line is the C63(it its segment). The M3 is faster than the ISF, and there are best motoring videos to prove it.

Just something I found a few nights ago

I am at a restricted access computer right now so I cant watch the video but I believe it states right there, that it takes the m3 in the 1/4th. I have seen it in other places too. Do you have any proof otherwise.

And even if you are right, thats only claiming in a straight line.
