^^ ... a few good choices ... pick the right time of the month to have a female companion on the passenger seat, playing a sensored version of Eddie Murphy / Chris Rock CD, and have a $39.99 Waltmart Special Radar detector on the dash ...

rrocket is going to be foaming at the mouth over day 4 Wink

Anyway, I wasn't surprised to read this part.  I had always suspected as much:

Quote
One is the transmission: although excellent, it has too many gears which means it can take too long to get to the proper one despite its lightning-quick changes.

The IS-F has all the right ingredients to make an excellent car, but it is missing one major component for a great sports sedan: a soul. Perhaps, over time, Lexus will improve this offering and make it more a driver’s car than a cruiser.

Kia that! I have doubts that Lexus' gonna make a perfect Zoom Zoom, but they will make one make prints perfect money.

That's GT-R list prive vs. ZR-1 list price... Poke


But the cars you were comparing the base IS250 against were likely not base cars., especially the 328i you sampled comes base with 16" wheels.

I'm curious...what about the IS250 you could not get comfy about?  The IS250 has 2" more front legroom than a 3 Series.  Was it the seat you didn't like??  Or??


Down here in the Bay area, a GT-R goes for 79k(MSRP) + 15k markup(mandatory). I don't know how the hell is that a lot cheaper than the ZR1....

Well the price tag that's plastered beside the usual MSRP/spec sheet shows "Dealer markup" as an item above the final cost. Yes they don't even bother calling it something other than markup.
