man, thats kinda sad... sorry you have to go. enjoy the IS though, should be a pretty fun little car. i just noticed this, of course now that you're leaving... my grandparents & dad lived in short hills & summit for quite a long time... i loved my grandparents' house in summit when i was younger. so anyway....

life goes on, things rarely ever work out as planned. thats the beauty of it all.... see ya!

haha ok I guess this is my last post..... I put all those mods on my 8 because (not to be an *** or stuck up) but because my parents bought everything for me, and they didn't really care, but to be honest the car is just too much work for me, and I'm 21 years old and I have to go back to school for my MBA..... talked it over with my parents and brother and we picked out a car that is nice, and fun to drive..... so thats the reason why.... good luck to all of you!

If you ever truly enjoyed having the 8, then I'll be generous and say you'll get two years out of the IS250 before you're bored to tears of it.

21 and his parents are buying him all the stuff and now a new lexus? Pardon me while I go throw up. I could easily do that but that just isn't in my book of parenting, where is their common sense and his sense of self-esteem?

It's hard to enjoy a car that you didn't buy yourself.

And now a new Lexus?

I sense a pattern here...

Sorry, not to twist anyone's arm on this, but the IS an awesome car. Yeah, our car is nice too, sure, but it has its flaws. Not only is the IS made a luxury car company, but it's extremely good looking too. I admit, I love my 8 just as the next person, but the IS is definetely a step in the right direction. There are many things about the Lexus that the 8 has flaws in: torque, rattles, 4 real doors, gas mileage, a trunk, better service, AWD, etc. There are pros and cons to both and
