+1 on the tsx

I'm looking for a new car as well...i really wanted a 350z, but it's way too impractical for me.

So I've narrowed my choices down to a new Acura TSX or used STi...

Let's stick with the options at hand. I'm not considering the TSX.

I say it depends on the deal you can get on the IS300. If you really like that then get it, especially if the deal is too good to pass up.

Personally I'd go for the BMW out of the two unless the deal was amazing on the IS. The deals should be good though if the dealerships have a bunch of them sitting there since the new ones are on their way :rick:

Lexus has offered me $500 over invoice on a new '05. I have yet to speak with the BMW dealership. Might go tonight. :naughty:

That was their initial offer. I'm not about to pay a great deal for the car. The problem is that they have to get the one I want from CA... nothing closer.

I don't know why anybody would buy a previous generation IS300. Not even Lexus owners liked that car.
