Someone should keep a track of the amount of people lost to the G35/37 and 350Z. I sware, it's gotta be well over 150.

Being that it costs nearly twice as much, I'd expect the car to be nearly twice as good.

Yea. I got insanely lucky at my job. I'm a cashier at a golf park, but all the managers like me and the way I work so they offered me a job as a manager when I turn 18, which is gonna be in February. Assuming I stay on the island for college I'll be able to afford it. if I don't then obviously I can't be a manager because of the distance, meaning I won't be able to afford it and I'll stick with the tC.

someone should, and their name is toyota. so many tc owners get into driving and racing the tc, and find its limits and move on to a platform with more potential like the z, or the evo etc. if toyota would hurry up and offer a proper platform with a good engine, rear- or all-wheel drive, and a manual transmission, they would so easily be able to keep all the growing tc owners in the family. but as it sits now, all the really have is the is250. which you can't get with AWD and a manual, and the is350 doesn't have a manual or AWD option.

lets just keep on hoping that they really do make their lightweight rear-wheel drive coupe, and bring back the supra!!!

Actually a friend of mine with a turbo tC, one of the first with the Dezod kit, was thinking about selling the tC to get the IS350. Only person I know that stayed in the Toyota family to upgrade .

cause i like cars, not bikes. bikes are fun, but you can only have fun on them on nice days, and if something goes wrong, your far more likely to uhm... die.

I like Infiniti's but they really do need more performance oriented models.

Like BMW's M, Mercedes' AMG, Lexus even now has the F, and Cadillac has them (I think it's V but I can't remember). It's the one thing that seperates the high performance shopper from Infiniti.

The IS-F, but it's the first thing to come from Lexus to offer any kind of real performance, since. . . well. . . ever. Too bad it's still only offered in an auto. Even if high-tech auto's can beat MT in terms of performance, there is a very select niche performance market that demands True MT transmissions. . . or at least a true SMG trans.

The IS-F is the first model, but the "F" designation is going to continue on future performance Lexus models. At least they have a plan for more of them. Infiniti still has nothing. And AMG cars are mostly auto's. I love my SMG M3 but can't stand to drive a performance car that's an auto.

^ and that's why I'd take an ///M over an AMG. Face it, AMG appeals to a completely different niche/buyer. AMG's, as awesome as they are, still lean towards luxury with performance, rather than performance with luxury. BMW's prioritize the driving experience over the luxury aspect. And the handling of any AMG pretty much aims up my point. You just can't compare it with BMW. Better? I can't say.... But definitely different.
