Default I would agree with the Classy vs Cheesy comparison....

For well under 30K you can get a 1.8T with Quattro, Sport package and a clearly higher level of style, elegance, and quality. And if speed is the deciding factor...a $400 chip is the cure.

The IS300 starts at 31K and you can't even get a manual tranny...how can they possibly focus on "sport" with a manual?!

There are those who say that the IS300 is targeted at those who like to modify their car with aftermarket products like the clear rear lamps, aluminim pedals, big exhaust tip, etc... I would disagree, because those who like to modify their cars, do so to look unique. If the car already has those items standard...then it's not unique and the buyer must still make modifications for it to BE unique.<p><a href="http://registry.audiworld.com/audi/registry/details.asp?car=161"</a><img SRC="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/a4registrydl.jpg" BORDER=0></a>

Default I agree. Parking butt first allows you to exit better, especially in those tight situations.

Default Yeah, and the marketing hype has turned me off. Lexus website: "the inside is all race car". LMFAO.

Default Aright. You caught me.

I can't do it easily! Not that I really want to. The fact is that a lot of you numbskulls don't signal your intention, and even so, I might think you were headed for the next spot down. There should be a special signal for you guys. My rule of thumb is that I don't back up for people who don't signal their intentions. Nor do I steal their space (which is the ultimate cruel trick to play on you guys).

Will.

Default I agree w/ IS300's cheesy look...

Drove it the other day & I was actually embarassed to be seen in it. It looks WAY too much like a rice rocket for my taste.
