Do you really feel by me calling a car "a chick's car" is an insult? What if I call a car a man's car, is that a compliment? Generally, man and woman buy cars with different priorities in mind. A woman's dream car is somewhat affortable, look nice, usually small. Power doesnt mean much to most female, that why the IS250 is so popular among female.

affordable
look nice
usually small
Then the entire continents of Europe and Asia and South America drive mostly "chick" cars as the majority of cars sold there are small subcompacts and compacts.
You think the RX is a chicks car, which I can understand. Now the IS 250 is a chicks car?
The car in question was bought by a MAN, Primecut's friend.
I'm not sure if it's a different program down there, but up here the "included maintenance" does not include the brakes/rotors. You can pre-pay it as an upgrade/addition at a significantly lower cost than you would pay if you didn't do it....but ultimately you're paying for them:

Sorry Henry and everyone else, that's not correct up here.
The quote in my previous post is directly taken from BMW Canada's website. I'm currently shopping a new BMW and it is an upgraded package that you have to pay for on top of the "free" scheduled maintenance.
Read it again...it clearly says "may be upgraded" to Service Inclusive.

The Service Inclusive Program includes all items covered under the Scheduled Maintenance Program. In addition, it includes the replacement of wear items such as brake linings, brake rotors, engine belts, wiper blades, and clutch components***.

I still havent seen any ladies driving any IS in my area. Every single IS i've seen on the road have been 250s. I might have seen a 350 on the highway but he was speeding and he blew by to fast. Change your last sentence please, apologize to the male's. If for some reason I would have to buy an IS right now I would go for an 250. For me, the 158hp in my Camry and 220hp in my RX is more then enough. Not all men want powerful cars you know...
You are about the only one who can really stand behind that statement. Its not very often we get a car guy in here who is not into horsepower.

If a 4 cylinder Camry and a RX is enongh to satified your needs, then you are a better man than I am. More horse power and torque is like a sickness to some these guys in here. Read the post of those who write, I dont need a lot of horsepower in my car and look at their sigs. They all drive cars with over 300 HP You are about the only one who can really stand behind that statement. Its not very often we get a car guy in here who is not into horsepower.

Sportiness and performance don't necessarily win out....even for some enthusiasts.

That has nothing to do with anything? Where does it say only men and only people into high HP cars are enthusiats? I was an enthusiast out the womb, I was an enthusiast in a 80hp Nissan Sentra, I was an enthusiast in a 185hp ES 300.
So Miata owners are not enthusiasts? GTi owners? Mazda owners? Smart owners? Civic owners? Polo owners? A3 owners? Cobalt owners? Leon owners? Focus owners? 320 owners? 128 owners?
Its amazing that somehow the Audi Q5 in another thread gets a magical not a chicks car pass. Please spare us.
