BMW all the way. IS300 looks like an Accord. (archive)

: Hope these help some people trying to make a decision. I know they are 2 different cars - 4 dr. vs 2 dr. and Topaz vs Black - on and on.

: Please forgive the image quality. The clouds were not cooperating and I don't take pictures for a living.

: I left the pics a 1280x960 because I thought you may have wanted detail. For some reason the 2 on the lot had 16-inch wheels, but the sticker had 17 inch as std. equipment. There was one in the showroom that had 17 inch rims.

: My take on the car is purely by the looks. I have never been inside one. The IS300 looked small to me. Way smaller than an E46 sedan. The inside looked not as accomadating as my coupe. IMHO, it just looked cheaper. Sorry to the IS300 fans. What struck me was the cheap fuel, and trunk pulls at the bottom of the driver's door. It reminded me of the Toyota's we used to own. (again, nothing against Toyota owners - I have a '93 4-Runner also) The inside seemed really boxy too. *But remember, I am completely biased! hehe

: Let me know what you think of the visual comparison!

: Paul.
