Eitherway it's at least 1-2 years away depending on what I end up getting.

bad-ass car. the new ones are butt-ugly but the original ones are absolutely gorgeous. VERY well built, stylish, sophisticated, small, nimble. i think they're perfect. my only complaint is the 5-speed has poor throttle response due to that damned electronic throttle, grrrrr.

i would say a scooby... or an evo... but i guess those are more geared towards sport than luxury.... although a fully loaded scooby is very nice.

my buddy just totalled his IS-300... beautiful car, lots of fun to ride in, good price for the amount of fun you'll have with it

you can't go wrong with the rear-drive thing either. i've ridden in a couple at AutoX, and they handle so well, it pissed me off. you can find used ones for under $20k, clean too. but if you want 5-speed, good luck!
