GO!

My short list so far includes Lexus IS, Infiniti G37, Maybe a Taurus SHO if I can find the right one. CTS is nice, but the V is too expensive and I hear the regular CTS is just ok relative to the competition. Love Acura TL's, but I cannot do that razor blade beak.

What am I missing?

Lexus ftw

Lexus ftw

Yeah? The 250 seems to be priced a little below the Infiniti and the 350, which is more comparable to the G seems to be a few grand more than the G.

That, a G37, or a CTS.
This CTS is nice.

I'd do the IS. We love ours.

[Craizie]

The IS250 has no balls.

That's good to know. 250 or 350?

Subscribing for ideas/feedback.
Given your criteria, I'd say G37. I have a similar list (except for wanting it still under factory warranty) and keep coming to the G37 (Q40) or going a little more $ than I'd like and going 335i.

[BLAKE]

Yeah, it's tempting to put in some more cash on a 335i, but I want to keep this one for a while, and rational or not, I'm scared off by maintenance on them.

How about a Hemi and AWD?

You can find Chevy caprice PPV's locally that were never in service as well. Would be fun as a daily, fits most of your criteria, quick mods for comfort and you're done. I've been kicking around the idea of picking one up. I'd get in trouble though lol

[Craizie]

That thing would be awesome to daily.

The IS250 engines have intake side carbon build up issues. The 350 motor does not experience the problem to the same degree. Have you sat in the IS? I am not a large person and the interior feels cramped.

The Caprice PPV is really cool if you can find one with the better interior and low hours.

I'd sign up to drive for Über just to sling folks around in that bitch. Perfect for picking up drunks amiright?

Think you could make enough money as a side gig to make the car payments?

Hah, pursuit vehicle looks fun, but not exactly what I'm looking for.

That's good to know. I have been in an IS and I am a large man, but it seemed do-able. I wasn't looking at it to purchase though, so I'll keep that in mind when I go look at them.
