This morning's paper had the 5-spd

IS300 for $399 a month on lease. Wow! Must not be selling as well as they thought? I would consider an IS300 5-spd for that amount!

I think Lexus goofed in some areas, such as the Altezza tail lamps and too radical rear styling. It looks more like something a 18-year old kid in a Civic would want than some prospective BMW 3-series buyer.

naa, I would pay $400/mo for a lease on that car.

IMO, that car is worth 29-30k at most.

I would pay $300/mo for a lease on it.

It's a Very Sharp, sporty looking little car ! I'd still take my CL-S over it anyday, but it's very nice looking little auto.

Lexus is offering black-out taillights this year. It looks great on the Graphite Gray car I saw the other day. I was never a fan of the chrome, and I always thought body color tails would look good.

i drove the 5spd two weeks ago at a tulsa dealership...i love my cl (girlfriend would say more than life itself) but would almost be willing to give up the horsepower for the 5spd and rwd of the is300...

those cars have awesome (lack of) cabin noise, kick-butt tranny, and incredible handling. my main issues w/ it are price (pretty much should just get a bimmer), size (feels waaayyy too much like a jetta), and hp (like i said, that ones iffy)

just my op. though...also have never been attracted to red cars ('cept for webtoker's) but the red is300 with tint, chrome, spoiler blew me away.

I'm not sure that many prospective BMW buyers would seriously look at the IS300. If they are interested in the 3 series, and they have the cash, I would think most would buy it just on the BMW name alone. I think that the IS 300 appeals to a slightly different crowd than the 3 series. To me this isn't such a bad thing.

Those are the people who should NOT be buying BMW's. Just on the name alone?
