I kinda like the IS300

they definately have potential, pry much everything that needs to be said has, but they arent a bad looking car considering theyre a sedan, there arent alot of eye catching sedans that have potential if you understand what im getting at, but i say its worth the money, ne thing is going to require money input. depends on how you look at it and how much you are wanting out of the car

My main reason for not owning a European car: wheel bolts. FUCK WHEEL BOLTS!!!

Seriously though, the IS looks nice enough, but if I were going to get a Lexus it would HAVE to be the SC430. I've driven a few of them at work and they are absolute rocket sleds! Not "touge" friendly, but fast in a straight line.

The IS accelerates ok from the examples I've driven, the traction control gets annoying though, and I didn't bother looking for the off button, since they were customer's cars and I didn't have long to play :twisted: It feels nimble enough for it's size and I'll bet a good suspension package could really improve it further (especially swaybars).

Yeah, I agree, They say that one problem is the is300's hood weighs a ton, but I suppose a good cf hood would help. I think it's interesting, the whole design of the car was built to center its gravity, the gas tank is under the rear seats, the battery is at the back of the engine bay. Ect.

I am leaning twords a evo 8 with a evo 7 gt-a conversion, but the is300 dose have a refined sex appeal.

i think the IS are a better looking car compared to the evos, its something about the simple look that makes it more appealing to me..
