IS300 Manual

http://www.is300.net/forum_new/Forum1/HTML/005868.html

looks like a long ass throw. inside still looks crappy. was looking at it and i think i know why it looks crappy inside... the dash layout is not continuous, it doesn't flow. BMW 3 series has a nice dash layout that seems integrated... type s also. looks cheap. ok is trollers flame away.

1. What IS300 trolls???
2. Are you tired of the politeness and peace that we've all enjoyed recently?
3. Are you stupid enough to think that if flames were to break out, it's just going to be in defense of the IS and nothing else?

From the display, it looks like it has the same Alpine based Nav that we have; I wonder if it is, and whether it's DVD based.

If you think about it the center console follows the same design criteria as the altezza brake lights i.e. fancy, gew-gaws with not much functionality. It looks like a veritable palace of shiny buttons and dials. I think it's supposed to make you feel like a fighter-pilot or something.

I dunno... I think it actually puts the IS on par with us now.

Now we do have competition... rather then wannabe competition.

It should be almost as fast as the CL-S now...

And now it has some luxury appointments... LIKE A ARM REST bout time they got one of those.

And now they have a wonderful navi system... The Lexus Navi whips our asses right now.

They also got auto-dim mirrors now...

So... at least their getting to the "almost, could be, but isnt, nearly worth 30k" position now.

Attacks on your cars? Produce one or be guilty of lowest form of persuasion: slurring. Oh wait, trolls are never very preoccupied with facts, are they?

And damn right I'm going to personally attack anybody who gets his kicks by trying to disrupt peace, hook-line-sinker or not.

you're just a freaking idiot... i know your handle from the is300 forum... i go to a lot of forums to learn and see what is out there. and by far the is300 forum is the most xenophobic of all of them... hell even the corvette forum was nice to a guy who said he was 16 and started racing his accord... they just told him to be careful. you is'ers just can't take someone's opinion. i think a lot of people here would back me up. hell i even like the front end of the is300, definitely not the back... it's too riced out. but that's it. back off man.

Your post, IS300 substituted with CL-S, with pertinent changes:

"looks like a long ass boat. inside still looks crappy. was looking at it and i think i know why it looks crappy inside... the "wood" inside is completely unconvincing, it lacks prestige. BMW 3 series has some nice accents that seems prestigious... other Lexus' also. looks cheap. ok CL-S trollers flame away."

Now tell me if this, especially with the last taunt, is "trying to keep everyone up to speed on new cars"?

Can't find that I've ever said any bad things about your cars, can you? It's too bad that you don't know that I've been a Honda fan for over ten years. And by the shifting attacks it seems like you can't stand behind any of the subtle crap you've tried to pass.

BTW, stereotyping a group of people is generally a bad thing. You might also keep in mind that 2 out of 5 moderators for our busiest forums are non-IS300 owners, and one of them even owns a CL-S.

YOU

2. Are you tired of the politeness and peace that we've all enjoyed recently?

HUH? How is this stirring anything... Last I looked it's a CL forum. Who's stirring what now. Look at the other comments posted here by other fellow CL owners.

3. Are you stupid enough to think that if flames were to break out, it's just going to be in defense of the IS and nothing else?

Who else would flame? Last I looked you're the one escalating this and you own an IS. You have always been one prepared to jump on anyone that has something bad to say about your beloved slow ass piece of toyota corolla type IS. You're the one STUPID enough to think that someone who doesn't own an IS would bother to defend it.

I knew that. EricL, one of the moderators over at the is300 forurm I believe owns a TT. Stop your *****ing and go get a Type S and maybe it'll cure your insecurities.

Okay.... ummm.... If anyone here would actually like to discuss the IS300M, then please feel free to do so in another thread. Cuz this one is going bye-bye.
