I do think the new 3-series has some potential to be really sexy, though.

The key is to get it in a dark colour, otherwise it looks like a riced out Civic.
I donno about you guys, but after driving the Sport Package and Non-Sport, I'm inclined to get the non-Sport package. The $2500 I save can go into a set of Potenza S-03s
The G35 6MT is VERY enticing tho.
Anyone driven the new IS350?

Leasing works best, as my dad is able to write off a significant portion of it (as a bussiness vehicle) and get a tax refund on it. The money he's paying for the car ends up being less than the depreciation, hence he leases every four years...

... P.S. Dave I have a serious boner for the SRT, but the fuel economy thing makes me go flaccid all the same. Please tell me it takes 89 octane.
Heaven -- and ANWR -- help us. :run:

New IS is not sporty enough for weekend events but it would make a decent commuter car. SRT's are meh, I know people who work at the plant and let's just say the build quality has issues.
Just ask your Dad to go test them out and he'll buy what he likes.
