I have the same feeling too! But.... I have bad experience on this... 3 mth after I took delivery of my 328i with all the options(top of the line at that moment, no m3 yet), 330i was reaching the dealer lot with the same price!

Only if the 350 would come with 6MT, then I'll go for 350. Otherwise, no thanks. AT, SS, SMG, etc....just don't interest me at all. I need that clutch pedal.

I think we've discussed this before. Some people like to mod their cars, some don't. Some people will still mod a 350.

I LOVE the IS, but if IS is ever gonna happen to me. its gonna be 350.................

You can only get the 350 with auto...or paddles which is auto. No manual. Therefore the 350 is out of the question for me. 250 is better on gas but thats just a plus.

250/350 anyone of them is fine, can't stand my tsx rattling around.. annoying... I definitly will not miss the tsx once i get the IS... the IS just looks so grown up and luxury... as for the tsx has luxury interior but it's just a bigger body civic on the outside...

This is so true. Those who like fixing up their cars will do so no matter what they get. If I could afford an F430, I'd probably mod that car too.

I guess this could be worse. hm, wonder if I have violated any rules by saying that one can say anything.

that aside, wife wants a Lexus sometime in the near future. Not that we can't afford it but I'd rather spend the money on other useful stuff than a brand image. maybe if i were single that'd be more important. besides, 300 horses is not very useful in stop and go traffic, and RWD won't do much justice when there's a baby car seat in the back.
