What's an IS300? Never seen one in Mass!

Wierd thing is that since I got on this board in October I have never seen an IS300 in the state of Massachusetts or New Hampshire. I wonder if they are warm weather cars only? Any northerners seen one around here?

Careful...I am sure they would say we own $30,000 preludes.

I haven't seen any sales numbers on them yet, but I don't think they're selling that well. I've only seen one or two way down here in Florida.

There's no such thing. We just made up the model number to piss people off and to give us something worthy of a virtual reality race.

Haha You took the words outta my mouth. I was just about to say the same thing!

Although I see more girls/women driving them.

Maybe it's a girl's kinda car?

I've only seen one in WMass, back in November I think. It came up behind me on the Pike, couldn't tell what it was thru the mirror. Does look a lot like sub $20K cars in low light situations (the corrola comparison isn't really far off...)

Out of curiousity how many CL's have you seen?
For the record I've seen exactly 2 CL's (both CLP's) and 1 IS300.

You may not be seeing a whole lot of them because they're RWD... not a car I'd want in the northeast

That reminds me that I've seen only a few here in Tucson. It used to be that I'd rarely see CL's either, but I see one about every other day now and I've even seen a GOLD (oh the horror). I saw it last week. I've had my car 10 months now. I honestly thought I'd go a couple years before seeing another gold here. I know for a fact there's less than 10 in the city. Oh well......
