I'm not old, and not boring (or so i'd like to think). The GTA was an exciting performance car, so definitely not a bmw.

Personally I was never attracted to the old IS in the slightest.

It doesn't have enough comfort and gadgets to distract from the lack of power (or acceleration, more to the point) for me.

Each to their own, though, and I can certainly respect those who like them.

The new IS is a completely different creature, I think, and I can forgive it it's gutless nature for the comfort and toys.

HELLO finance :D

Which is fine if you happen to like it, btw, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Which new IS did you drive?

250 sport with auto, I'd guess?

(BTW, I think Off/topic doesn't apply, before anyone says it. The topic was done and dusted on the first page, really, so now I'd say anything goes :winky: )

Sorry to go on but is'nt the Is 300 quicker than any 2nd Generation IS?

Split the Forums NOW!

Absolutely, but that was kinda the point.

The 2nd gen IS isn't about speed, and makes up for it in other ways.

The 1st* gen IS might be faster (but not by much) but not fast enough to do without extra toys and comfort to make me not feel the way I want to in a car.

I'm bearing my soul horribly for judgment here, obviously, but still.

* I typod and wrote 2nd here first

Why do people drive around in classic cars?No power steering,airbags etc. It has to do with the passion of a car by the people who built it. I just feel the old Is has far more character.Reading the threads on here do the new Is have issues with rattles? The two i have used both had the problem. My IS may not have parking aid,keyless entry,cooled seats and have ultra comfort but and a big but LET THE 1ST GENERATION LIVE ON and in its own forum.

Completely agree. And everything I said was personal to why I wanted the new Is but wasn't interested in the old one.

They're totally different cars so don't even try to compare them. The intent of the split was just to make navigation easier, not to split the (IS) forum into two rival camps. As I own a 200 & 250 I'll still be interested in topics applicable to both models, but after the split at least I'll know from the offset which model we'll be discussing :)
