WWWWWWWWWWWWWWTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

holly ****.. i can't believe some ppl here are saying that the RSX interior is better than the IS300! Thats freakin' absurd!!!!

i invite everyone who thinks that to ACTUALLY SIT in an IS300 and then speak! IS300's leather is stitched to perfection! Its got one of the best quality and finishes and toyota/lexus benchmark the quality for the japanese manufacturers! This is a fact and its in every car magazine!

The rsx doesn't even have a freakin' arm rest!!!!!!! wuts up with that? the rsx has so much plastic its not even funny, just look at the pedals of both cars. Quatily.. and lexus... and thats it! They define quality.

My bro has an rsx and my dad mom drives an IS300. So please.. don't speak if you don't know. And because this is a honda forum, its obvious that some ppl are bias and they haven't ever sat in a lexus.

My boyfriend has an IS, and he loves it. Not only is the interior better than a Type-S, but it's rw drive which totally kicks ***.

these two cars are in totally different leagues IMHO. I don't know of anyone who would cross-shop an IS300 and a Type S. The IS300 is RWD, looks better and has a MUCH better engine. People will talk about mods being cheaper for a Type S, but that's the price of admission. The lexus comes with more power stock, and there are some running around with 800+ HP, you can't even put that power down in an RSX.

Just cuz it's a honda forum doesn't mean it's gonna be RSX< IS. But seriously, there's so much difference between the 2 cars, almost a $10,000 difference...

yeah and its doing good vs bmw and benz. **** lexus is owning it up man.....is350 ring a bell? not only is it one of the fastest Luxury cars, its IS A PERFORMANCE machine. Why do you think BMW is adding a 350CI to their 3 series...Trying to keep up with the competition. Lexus set the bar with the is350 this year, awesome car. **** if I didn’t owe so much to school I’d be using that $ for a down payment on a is350

I would get used Is300 over S,
I've driven both cars and sat in passenger seat
Is has much smoother engine, luxurious interior, rwd looks
I like the type -s a lot too, but just not as much as Is
