Trov Notes: Buy whatever you want, how you want, when you want, it’s your money!
I think for most people the new IS will serve many purposes, i.e.
1.) There are some of us that simply do not want the headaches of boosting a car, attempting to find a competent place to service that ultra “needy” car, and the acceptance of the sheer upkeep! Oh ya, not to mention the addiction that continually grows once you experience & taste the wonderful world that is “BOOST!”
P.S. Option 1 is not bad by any means, I will probably be venturing down this road soon! Haha!!!!!
2.) Again, I also believe that the styling will grow on some people, most will undoubtedly be true diehard fans of the original! Put me in this category because I was hoping that Lexus would refine the current car, add some Jazz here, a little R&B there, and some Rock under the hood, but alas no factory 2JZ-GTE w/. v160 Getrag and a warranty.
3.) It’s all in the eyes of the beholder! Buy whatever you want and enjoy whatever you want!

All I can offer is my honest opinion, take it for what it’s worth to ya and make your own decision about what vehicle you decide to spend your hard earned dollar on.
