    For the trophy wife, unencumbered with the children from Dr. Hubby's first marriage, and thus not requiring much of a backseat.

    Make a manual available with the 350. Then we'll talk.

    @sos10: I loved the 1st gen IS-wagon. Straight 6 powered sportwagon, mmm tasty. They're hard to find though, and even harder to find with a stick.

    Better than the sedan IMO. The same for the M3. Infiniti needs to step up. The 5.0 in the FX would do.

    I've always appreciated the look of the current-gen IS, and I imagine it would like mighty good as a coupe. Although I'd definitely have to have the 350 model. or the F.


    But then that said, I don't know if I could actually bring myself to actually take the plunge and become a Lexus owner. I mean, I like a fun game of golf with the mates as much as the next guy, and vanilla ice cream is ok once in a while, but...

    @Ambiguously Unfunny Syrax: To this day, the older one is the tightest-handling car I've ever driven. Someone is trying to convince me it's a bad idea, and I should get something like a Volvo 850 instead, but I don't think that's going to stop me.

    @A strolling player got Singofingered: Tell them this: As bland as the IS looks, at the end of the day you have a RWD inline-6 with great aftermarket possibilities. They'll reply with auto vs. manual, AWD 850R. I'm still working on a reply to that one.

    @Ambiguously Unfunny Syrax: The IS was available with a five-speed manual from 2002 forward. As far as I can tell, the 850R was only available with an automatic. And rear-drive is more fun. Now to get her over her irrational hatred of Japanese cars...

    The way they got flamed for their halo-car, they'll never tell Jalopnik anything.


    They're probably like: "Don't tel them sh*t! If we don't have a model out in a year they'll start calling us vaporware producers. Anyway, everyone on that site calls us an appliance manufacturer!"

    See, I read it as being a twin-turbo Fox-body convertible. And that would've been much cooler than this.


    And probably just as nice in the twisties.

    @Alfisted: YouTube videos can be embedded by simply cutting and pasting their url into your post, no special syntax required. I try to put them on their own line with a carriage return before and after it, just to be on the safe side...
