: 1.) EVERYONE and THEIR MOM has a bmw. how many of these IS's have you actually seen on the road. i think i get more A LOT more double takes when they see my IS compared to a bmw. every other car in boston or in SF is a bmw (ok...that might be a little exagerrated but you get my point).

: 2.) have ANY of you people ACTUALLY driven this car and given it a fair chance???? stop judging a book by its cover!

: 3.) if the tail lights are soo ugly (as SOME of you have mentioned) then why do people always want to put THESE tail lights on their accords/neons/civics???? i don't even see people putting on bmw tail lights on their car. i know this is a bad arugement for the IS but like i said, NO ONE would want to put the tail lights of a bmw on a car! but i still HATE those ppl who try to be posers and put other tail lights on their own car.

: 4.) price wise...they are pretty comparable. but i a fully loaded IS is still cheaper than a 328.

: ok...like i said. i don't want to start a war here but if you have any meaningful comments i would appreciate them.
