wow you are stupid.
YOU are the one talking about how the engine was a 3 liter pumping 215, and then condemn judging a car by its 1/4 benchmark!?! I for one realize that there is more to a car than JUST its 1/4, but honestly if you're going to pay upwards of 32k, I would expect more out of the drivetrain than that.
And as far as the pic in my sig, It was photoshopped like that you nit wit.
here's the original just to make you feel a little better...

Everyone seems to think a 1/4 mile time is the benchmark of performance. When in the real world there are turns, stopping power, top speed etc. I look at things such as 50-70 acel times for freeway passing.
PS: please learn how to use a camera that pic in your post is shit

No, it's not, but it has absolutely nothing in common with a Civic except that they both have four wheels. And just because a car is expensive doesn't mean it has to be fast. There's a bunch of 40k 3.0 A4 and MB C320's with autos that I bet you'll smoke in your little Civic. Bottom line is you're still in a Civic, so quit whining.

I wonder what you drive?
And yes the IS300 is a dressed up civic...upraded engine (barely), moved power to the rear, and added some aesthetic touches, but overall its not what you make it out to be.
Beautiful car? Absolutely. I love them.
Dressed up civic? yes.

If thats a photoshop master piece as you claim it to be, you are a retard. I would have aleast claimed the camera was broken
And do your homework on the other cars the IS300 is grouped with the BMW 330i does not even have 215 HP and guess what its over $30,000 also.
Lets not also forget that the E36 M3 was out about the same time the IS300 came out and it only had 240 HP if I recall in the US spec model and it was in the high $38k plus range Yet the E36 M3 still racked up many awards from the automotive press.

Don't even try, RB. The IS300 is the number 1 jock riding and dicksucking car. It's expensive, slow, and doesn't handle very well, but like the WRX (which isn't expensive but handles like soap) it has become some amazing powerhouse in the minds of ricers everywhere.
