talking about the IS350:

personally i think after surviving god knows how many years in the snow with RWD cars (her first FWD car was the minivan, that was after a good 20 years of driving RWD)

FWD doesn't matter because where we're going we don't need roads.

Depends on the car. I love my GSR! I loved my Mustang as well.

I don't enjoy the 1320, or have the funds to accommodate it. At this point I don't miss a RWD car. I drive a RWD truck every day tho!

You musn't push your car. The only thing they have in common is the front wheels move and they will both understeer when pushed to the limit.
