It actually looks pretty good in person, especially in a darker color. Besides, good motor + RWD + stick shift...how bad can it be? The IS300 has a striking resemblance to a $14k Mitsubishi Lancer from the front and nobody seems to be complaining about that. Hell, I picked it as my favorite out of this bunch!

It's alright, I wouldn't expect a bunch of Accord-loving nancy boys to like the CTS anyway.
