Thank you guys
Well, any doubts that were setting in have subsided a little now, you are right about the level of refinements and extras in the IS - they blow Audi, Merc and BMW out the water at the same price.
My salesman was a sweetie, Audi make you think you are doing them a favor by buying one of thier cars - 'I'm not worthy sir of this fine piece of engineering!' - NOT
Right - so I'm now thinking IS200s - body kit or not - does the body kit make much of a difference? - parking sensors (you know why!) and probably sat nav, just for the hell of it. Colour still to be decided, is the gold one on here a special order?
If I can't get gold then maybe the green or the dark grey.
No haven't thought of the IS300 - thats even bigger, could you imagine!
I am actually gagging for the big daddy of Lexi - but at 50k I think not - that is one georgous car, saw one in gold the other day - wow stunning.
As for all the awards for safety, I had no idea - I must admit I was so impressed by the breaks that I did about 3 emergency stops on the TD!
I am actually a member of the TT forum, thats how I know that forums are the best way of finging out information the dealers don't want to tell you. A nice bunch of guys although all of them worked in IT!
