The problem with the IS is it just doens't look good stock. So mods were a must. For that matter , almost all Jap imports don't look good stock to me personally, and need wheels/drop at a minimum- i.e. G35/G37, Z, etc... The only Jap import I like 100% sock is the Z370 NISMO or the GRT (both of which I decided against for my own personal reasoning).
So being the ISx50 is pretty uninspiring stock, I had my fun modding the heck out of my car to make it look great. Then the problems strolled in. Impratical? Bothersome? Whatever you want to call it.... the car was just a problem day in and day out. So I'm gald I got out of it.
The mechanical issues were real - especially being 5K miles away from being without a warranty. If my engine blew just 5-6K miles down the road, I would of been in serious trouble. $10-$15K dealership repair bill cost trouble. This was the biggest factor for leaving my IS.
After the thousands I dumped into my IS, I swore to get something I like stock. And yes, your right, the Charger SRT8 is just straight mean/nasty looking stock:

I wish your post had ended here...
but unfortunately it continued with a name calling diatribe that puts you squarely on par with those you were complaining about (if not worse - many were just expressing their preference and opinion, which isn't going to be the same for everyone).
A moderator already made a request to knock off the personal commentary and keep things civil, so since that's not happening I'll close this thread by wishing you best of luck with your new SRT.
