Just drove an IS300 stick shift
I just drove a Lexus IS300 stick shift, Solar Yellow, and it is a very tasty vehicle. No price posted as yet and there was a lot of traffic (freeway was very heavy so we stayed on surface streets in Westminster, CA) but I think there is a lot to be said of this automobile. Marginal differences for the interior compared to the auto but, to me, positive ones. It sure turned heads. The salesman took off in it when I left. Smart man!

If Acura can get their heads out of their asses, we can start spanking these cars. Not that we can't now. But a manual would just make it all that more fun.

Ys btu the Lexus is still a little car and it is ricey. Class and luxury wise it isn't in the same league as a 330i, C-70(noone talks about it here), and the Clk 320.
IS300 cant get past the ricey look with the rear taillights.(Neither can a new Lightning)
Just my "too scents"
