TSX vs. IS300

If I was looking for a car to auto-x and drive hard then I'd get the IS300. If I was buying a car for a lot of interstate travel and commuting, I'd get the TSX.

I saw a black TSX today, so beautiful, I am definitely considering one now.
<offtopic>Has anyone seen the silver A4 1.8T with the bigass FMIC driving around campus. The car is so sexy. It also has black rims with a polished lip and tinted windows.</offtopic>

There is a black TSX parked in the driveway of the house that backs up to mine. I can't decide whether the back end is angry or it need some Botox. Too much "Zen" for me.

GOODNESS! All this talk about my car and I just noticed! Well, let me tell ya'll:
I wanted a mkiv supra TT, but didn't want the price or the cop appeal. So I looked at the RX8, IS300, and 350Z. RX8: Very fun car, roomy back seat (relatively) megablindspots, brand new model (minus) 350Z: I drove the track model - very awesome ride..., not cool price, only 2 seats, and HUGE blindspots IS300: 2jz-ge vvt-i, v6 (tired of NA I4 engines), roomyish backseat, still a toyota The one I bought had 5k miles on it, 2003, 5spd, leather, sun/moonroof, blue...pretty much everything I wanted...and I saved a bunch of money since it was taken off the lot. The back wheels are really easy to slip, it gives plenty of power, smooth as silk. My Dad wants to buy it when he's done with the supra even! I've learned that driving a lexus is...not cool. I tell people you bought a new car, and they ask what it is, and I have to explain myself after I say it's a Lexus, so they don't think I'm made of money or something. But then, I'm not a pimply little chrome-tipped japanese ricer that doesn't have a job, now am I? Other minuses are the weight and the gas milage. But seriously...what person that cares about their driving experience cares about fuel economy? I'm not out to save the planet. Anyway, I'm very happy with my selection, and I'd post pictures of it up , if I knew how!

You know, the 2jz. If you ordered some overnight parts from japan, you'd own all at racewars next month.

With gas mileage on sports cars, its not that we don't care, its just that it doesn't bother you unless its truly horrid (like the FD maybe). Good gas mileage on a sports/sportish car is just kind of a bonus for us but not necessarily a requirement.

Yeah but that accord has 300,000 miles on it, I think he paid well under a grand for it.
