haha yeah jens gunna be gettin pussy with the new car! lucky eric!

i dunno i like the S2000 but if you need more of a daily driver/maybe go on trips the 4door may help...IS300 is pimp too

if you got enough money to eventually turbo the IS300 then definately go for it...youll prolly end up needing more of a daily driver car in the end like i did...

if your looking for fun, you need an s2k.

if your looking to just crise around town, you need an is300.

anyone that says an s2k is overpriced is stupid as fuck. how can a car that cost 15 grand less then a z4, and 25 grand less then a boxster, and whoop both of there ass be overpriced?

Get a earlier 2000-01 BMW M3, I stand by it now. Forget the little honda or the luxury lexus. BMW is fast as shit and much of that BMW luxury and class.
The 2001 was the first year the new style M3's came out, and they had alot of engine problems, which is why alot of people look past them when trying to purchase a used E46 M3. If the price was right, you know i'd be driving a 2001, i dont care, but other people do.

The is300 is very very nice, it has everything i look for in a car. Rear wheel or AWD, an inline-6 with 200+hp, near perfect weight distribution, beautiful lines, very nice interior, and a 'respected' manufacturer.

However, all the is300 really is is lexus' version of the BMW 3-series. Same engine design, same RWD, same luxury, same performance figures, has the exact same market, etc. Even though the is300 is alot rarer to see than an 2000+ 328/330 bmw, i'd have to think the bmw is the better car for the money, it is the original and the best seller in that market. Plus their built to last like a MFer .. my 94 325is has 135,000 miles on it, has been in two minor fender benders, is driven hard as hell on a regular basis, and the only things ive had to replace whatsoever were maintenance items, 1 suspension piece that I messed up, and a leaky transmission cooler. So basicly 1 $200 item, and thats it. I'm sure itll run past 200k miles. Whether the new ones have that kinda durability is yet to be seen.

But if you ask me, if i had money for an is300, and specifically wanted a japanese made car, i'd DEFINANTLY get an Infiniti G35 coupe. soooo nice..

BMW acknowledged the 'blowing up' engine problem and issused 100K mile warranties to all cars with the S54. (Including M Coupes and M Roadsters.) So go and buy one Jen.

Toyota Altezza/Lexus IS300 - I'm not sure if it has an option 6-speed, but the car and motor seem to be balanced well. Alot of room to keep when you have a family or just get some groceries. Sleeper, well besides it being pure sex, everyone will be checking it out. I think the IS300 has alot of potential for power and handling. Just think of the power and ability in a sexy 4-door, no one would expect it. $0.02

Lexus... C'mon now, what sounds sexier...

I drive a Lexus (in a deep, rich dude voice)
-OR-
I drive a Honda (in a wimpy, non-puberty hittin' kids voice)

Haha, both nice as shit, Lexus has my vote. I'd like the Toyota Altezza just to have one since they're right hand drive, but Lexus is pimpadelic.
