you like lexus alot don't you.
I like the wheels on that is300 though. |
you like lexus alot don't you. There's a difference between "daily driven" and reliable, maintenence costs and periods, warranty coverage, etc. If you bring aftermarket into it, there's a number of sedans that can theoretically run in the 12s for a lot less than the E55 or RS6, etc. |

I highly agree. I wouldn't categorize either the modena or the IS300 as a luxury sedan.

You can build it to have 1000 hp, but at the end of the day, it's STILL an IS.
I'd take an M3, M5, S4, or RS6 any day of the week over even the fastest IS in the world. |

I doubt even Toyota's legendary reliability and overengineering would hold up when you turbo a NA engine and make it put out more than three times its stock power rating. That's why, instead of spending $80k on an IS300, I would spend ~$50k on a (maybe slightly used) Z06, mod it, and run 10's all day long. But hey, whatever floats your boat...
