I'm not interested anymore.

I mean... I really like the new IS. I like the interior, I love the way they drive... they even offer the two options I want - a real manual tranny (F1/SMG/DSG may be faster but they're not the same) and AWD, but they're only offered on the lowest model and they're not even offered together. Back to lusting after European models for me, I guess.
