Actaully I was looking at the CL Type S and the IS300. The CL Type S performance wise was so much better that it made the IS300 appear to be as SLOW as grandma's Buick.
The CL Type S was SOO much quicker and it was an automatic.

 

I'm not saying it isn't fast. The things so damn big. Sit an IS300 beside a CL. The freaking CL's like two feet longer, and it's a two door. The damn thing's a boat. Nice inside though.

 

If we could only put the Type S engine in the IS300 .. :-)

 

This sucks. I am actually considering getting an IS300 for my wife because she "LOVE's it because its cute" and she now "feels like an old mother" in the 4Runner Ltd that she "just had to have because it looks so cool" not more than 10 months ago(I love the way my wife chooses her cars ). I got an add from Lexus today, probably because I filled out a brochure request on the website, but I didnt get a gift certificate.

I dont suppose I can convince someone here who isnt considering a purchase to part with their gift certificate? If so, email me. Thanks
