Those Pathfinder's are money. The first time I saw one I was eating lunch. It drove by the window and parked. I literally got up and walked the parking lot till I found it. I hadn't seen one before.
The IS looks like a riced out honda accord. Its underpowered and every punk ass 19 year old around me drives one. I would save up for the GS series or even better...get a 2002 maxima...260hp, 6 speed tranny, drool
Where the hell do you live, boss? That's not exactly a cheap car. Are you sure its a lexus IS 300? I don't think it looks too "riced out". It looks classier, but I will admit the maxima is a sharp ride. Just saw a commercial for one. Acura has a new one out called the RSX or something close. That's NIIIIICE!
That's a sweet car (gets kinda crappy mileage, but I'm sure gas efficiency is not a major point on your list...). I almost bought one this summer -- was debating between the obnoxious yellow or the classic gray. But considering the impending 20% reduction in force at my company, I opted to get the A/C fixed in the ol' Integra... Maybe next year...
