Re: Chick appeal lexus is300vs infinite g35?

i think when the lexus is300 first came out, a lot of ppl (but mostly kids and rice-racers) raved about it. perhaps it's the ppl that i'm around, but almost everyone i know do not like the is300 because it looks too much like a rice-racer car instead of a luxury car. i will admit lexus is a better luxury brand overall, but infiniti rocks too. i just think the is300 needs a major redesign in styling and power since i think it's a little outdated.

as far as which one gets more looks, i really don't care. what i do know is that is300's are a dime a dozen around where i live. and they are considered kiddie-cars. even the lexus salespeople have said to me that usually it's the 25 year old and under that are looking to purchase it.

sorry, i'll stick with my g-coupe. it's all a matter of opinion but i think our coupe looks way better : )

Re: Chick appeal lexus is300vs infinite g35?

Hmmmm....g_thirtyfive's post is making me think....

It's making me think that all the people who posted on the IS forum bashing the G35 are just trying to make themselves feel better because at one point the IS was hot news, and now the G35 is whats hot and new. Just speculation.....what do you think?

Not saying that the IS isn't a nice car. We all have our opinions, but to bash the other? Makes me think they'res underlying reasons for saying what they said, and that reason is to make themselves feel better, not having the fresh new thing in town. Of course no one will admit it if that is the case. It's fine if they truly believe that their car in general has more appeal than the other, but usually the ones who truly believe this will not bash on the other car. The ones who are just trying to make themselves feel better will have reactions to what im saying and probably post about this comment im making saying im full of it and blah blah blah. I honestly don't give a damn and I do believe that my car does have more appeal than your IS. Thats all I'll say about it. MY CARS BETTER. Thats my opinion. It's not your opinon. You can tell me your car's better. I'll say sure if you say so.

Re: Chick appeal lexus is300vs infinite g35?

My opinion's not worth any more than the next guy's (except to me), but when I first saw the IS300 and read a bit about it I thought it was a pretty nice car in the BMW 3 series vein. I was driving a 3 series 5MT/Sport at the time though, and the IS didn't ignite much of a burning desire for me to trade.

The G coupe on the other hand absolutely lit me up. The first time I laid eyes on it at the NYC car show I had an "absolutely gotta have it" moment of the first order. So I did, less than two months later. That was a year ago. It's still my dream car...

Just consulted the woman:

"I would consider [the IS300] to be in the same class as a Diamante"

her words, not mine.

Re: Chick appeal lexus is300vs infinite g35?

Well, it is very simple.

If you want power, go with the G35.
If you want look, go with the IS300.

This is what someone said in the IS300 forum.... so sad eh?
Like you guys have said... they are in denial.. our cars out of there league

Re: Chick appeal lexus is300vs infinite g35?

fellas....

my girlfriend is in the market for a new car... so we have had this conversation for about a month and a half straight now. .

conversation #1
(after spotting IS300)
her: can i get one of those?
me: sure, they are pretty nice chick cars (wasn't aware guys drive them too)
her: how much more $ than your car?
me: about the same
her: hmm... i'd take yours

Conversation #2
(after spotting 4door G)
her: hey isn't that your car?!?!
me: yup just four door
her: i like that better than the lexus we saw
me: uh huh... pretty tailights huh!?!
her: ya... hey, do you have to get the lexus w/ those civic tailights?! (her exact words)
me: LMAO!!!! uh huh...

due to some holdups (toyota dealership owes her dad $$$) she is stuck with a brand new solara... which in my opinion is now starting to look like the G.

party on wayne!

Re: Chick appeal lexus is300vs infinite g35?

Who really cares what the Lexus guys think. All I know is my girl told me the G is the pick over the IS. I looked at both and everyone I asked said no contest G has the looks.

I too have also gotten the question.how much does that care cost. Fifty, sixty thousand, ask any IS owners if they get that question.

By the way I also ripped a guy in a IS a new cornhole on the turnpike heading down to the Keys this weekend. His whoopy cushion muffler didn't help him. LOLOLOL

Re: Chick appeal lexus is300vs infinite g35?

Come on guys lets be civilized here. No need to be mean to IS 300 owners. Treat them as you would treat ladies. That's what I do, my sister owns one.

Kidding aside, my friend had a nice fixed up one a few years back. He sold it and got a sti. My girl says the Is300 looks alot like the civic.

Re: Chick appeal lexus is300vs infinite g35?

Ok honestly this is one of those posts that will NEVER EEEVERRR end. This is like a patato farmer trying to convince those chinese rice farmers that its better to grow patatoes. Obviously they are going to say the IS is better and we are going to say the G is better and you cant start comparing because each side has different likes and dislikes (thusly why one chose one car over the other). So if you ask me please end this crap.
