G35C is defintely a good option...

But if you are going to college and absolutely need some utility.... Take a look at the trunk. It's surprisingly worthless for such a relatively large coupe.

No one mentioned the RX-8?

I like the IS300 better than the RX-8, but IMO the 8 is the closer car to the S2000 what with it's 6-speed MT (the IS has only 5-speed I think), about the same HP and TQ as the S2000 and the high red-line. The RX is like a 4 seat S2000 IMO.

But I like the Subi Legacy GT better all around

legacy is nice but i hear interior is crappy and no HIDS!
The interior of the Legacy is not crappy. Go check it out before passing off what you heard as truth. And who cares that it doesn't have HID's, the projecter headlights the car comes with are very very good, they're just not the "cool" HID's all the kids are oogling over.

HIDs are a must ! its just different from normal halogen yellows...
rx-8 was considered but when i went on their forum alot of members reported POOR mileage, down to like 10mpg to 20mpg on a 1.3 liter! not tracking something wrong with rx-8 ecu or something

i guess im leaning toward the is300 pretty heavily and was wondering if any one could change my mind set

g35 is what i will push for but i doubt i can get that =) g35 lack of trunk is probably because it has back seats so u can just put stuff back there =)

how much is a g35 equipped similarly to an IS300, leather , nav etc?



with this picture i think is300 is more like a fox in comparison to a wolf
less power, less style but still sexy
