oh god please no!

I think the worst part of the altezza craze was 9 months later when the same exact rice boys who bought up the altezzas realized how ugly they really are and suddenly flip-flopped and acted like they were too cool for school. Umm, excuse me asshole, you had that shit on your car yesterday....

Reason why I bring this up is because I got my eye on this new car just like Pyscho Ben. With the new 3 series looking bad and getting more expensive, might as well take the new IS. Didn't consumer reports say that this is one of the most reliable cars? Well that is with the 3.0 straight 6... not sure about the new 3.5 V6
It's a Toyota. It could have 4 and a half cylinders and still run 150K miles with no problems.

Honda, Toyota, and BMW's (for most parts) engines are as bullet-proof as they get. I have no worries about their engine work.

A girl I'm dating has an '01 IS300 and it's a great little car. The 3.0L I6 is a sweet engine.

i'm also waiting to see what the next IS is like. Test drove a 2005 G35 6speed with 298 hp the other day and loved it. Interior was improved over the older versions, but I feel like the next IS could blow it away if done right.

I would not mind getting one myself if it is 300 hp, it could be next on the list
