They tried to put the IS on the same category as the 3 series, remember back to 2001 when the new IS300 was released, and then the 2001 330I and the 2001 C320? and looks at the market right now, only the BMW kept better value.

thx for clearing that up for me, I knew that IS looked funnie men! it looks like the scion thing, lol and this is what people are comparing to the e90 3 or even worse the e60 5! people need to stop smoking crack!! it is a terrible thing for the mind. I mean do you see the lines of the front, I mean you know they are copying the e60 with those lines but then they are so far in they just look out of place, that is not a car I would call beautiful. I take it as an insult to the e60!

..."or that stupid i-drive".


my only question is, have you ever tried it? i mean REALLY played with it - not just sitting in a dealership for 2 minutes, or reading car magazine writer's opinions.

you'd be surprised how intuitive it really is.
