Default saw 3 separate 3ISes on the road today

with only about 45 minutes of driving time today. First time i've seen that many in one day. They're really starting to pop up around here (DC/Baltimore area). Anyone else seeing this many daily now, or more?

the 3ISs are still rare and not on the road as much. The new ES that came out i've recently seen hoards of them on the road. anyway, i don't pay much attention to the standard 3IS, more so of the F-Sports. in the last year i've only see 3 or 4 on the road.. thats crazy.. but kinda cool as it makes me feel honored to be part of an exclusive car group. i can honestly say though, it gives me a little tickle when people of all ages as young as 5-6 yrs old to middle age people stare or comment on the Fsport. thats why i don't really pay attention much to the reg 3ISs (no offense).

In the GTA I see about 5 3IS per day and depending on where I am I could see upwards of 5 per hour lol. Luckily where I live everybody prefers British/Italian/German. I literally see more McLaren MP4s than 3IS.

i've seen a lot of the new ESes around, even some GSes. Still very little 3ISes though.

Seeing a few more in L.A. recently, but seeing just as many new GS's. That's a turn-around, as there's usually more new IS's selling than GS's. I recall when the 2IS was released, they were flooding the streets at a much higher rate.

Here in the Valley, Hollywood and WLA -- a ton of 2014 IS's and very few GS's. Amazingly all I'm seeing are 250's and yes, 98% are Fsports.

I've owned mine since August. Yup I don't feel special anymore either lol! I'm sure when the RC hits the road the IS will feel less aggressive!

I saw 1 (non-F-sport) before I bought mine. Saw another one (non-F as well) and I think saw a 3rd one going the other direction based on the DRL headlight config. Outside of that, only ones I seen were being driven the people at the dealership.

There can't be too many because the guys who valet the car for the dealership get excited when I pull up.

Did have a 2IS driver cheer as we drove by each other. Would much rather see that than the 2IS vs 3IS debates we see here.

Saw 3 more yesterday. One parked right across the street from me. All 250's. So much CR having much sway on the market place. No Q50's and 1 CLA. This is in Sherman Oaks, CA.
