gonna have to disagree with ya there mate..
the gtr is a giant killer.
it'll smash down cars that are twice or even more expensive..
it's 2 different markets.
is250 is a luxury car
ISF is a luxury car thats headed in the performance way.
it might not have the name but lexus is toyota afterall
prestige.. yeah not quite but who cars if u can tear up 911 turbos and lambo + ferrari's that cost atleast twice as much
Looks.. might not be your cuppa tea but seeing 1 in person it's a bloody massive car..it's wide or wider than the ferrair 360 modena that was next to it that i saw..
Performance..500 hp? 0-100/kmh 3.6 or under.. and 1/4 mile of 11's? out of the box.. thats bloody quick for a performance car that only cost 170K..
only thing that really comes close for performance wise from BMW or Merc is M5-M6 SL55? (straight line only)
the gtr will outhandle any of those big name guns
Luxury and performance dont go together..
only car thats good enough to pull it is the M3
haha....... ilv1004s looks like you and i have similiar opinions!
gtr is a great car based on spec and reviews. it also already has the reputation, but if by chance the is-f comes in under 140k i would save the 30k and go is-f. after experiencing the lexus level of service i can't imagine buying anything else. plus toyota reliability is also a plus! might be a bit bland in somes eyes, but hey........ if it's close enough to an M3 thats good enough for me.
i've got a 55K mercedes vito work van, which in my opinion is a lot of money for a VAN, but seeing how i spend my working week in it i wanted to be comfortable. from day 1 i have had problems with it and even more problems trying to get the dealer to fix them. only with pressure from my solicitor as well as dept of fair trading have i managed to get these issues resolved. instead of just fixing the problem they make a problem out of the original problem! my point is as nice as a van as it is, next time round i will buy toyata hiace. might be boring, not as comfy, choppy ride, underpowered etc..... but at least its RELIABLE!
hell, if they just bring the bloody is350 i'm sold. the gap in price between the is250 and is-f is way too much!
ditto on that
why cant we get the US spec IS350!!!
it's a monster
