If I had to choose based on the cars I've driven, the M240i. If the new S4 turns out to have good handling and steering feel, that.

4GS for sure

if i had to replace my IS350....hmm!! maybe the new Audi RS4 coming out next year or the RCF.

Q60 Red Sport sounds good to me! 400hp and 350tq is a nice upgrade.

Voted for another IS. Simply love how good the car is overall. (Still hoping there will be another gen of IS F though :P)

Same here. I just love the look of the 3IS. Unfortunately the current GS seems 'stale' to me. Maybe in a couple of years I will consider a 2 year old RC F. Or maybe even a CTS V....😁...until then I'll continue to enjoy my 3IS F Sport!!!

Your comment made me realise we completely omitted the American options.

I'll toss another wrench into the gears: the BRZ/FRS. Very different car, but it was what my decision came down to the first time around, BRZ/FRS vs. IS200t. If I lost my car this instant, I would probably get the BRZ/FRS to experience something different, but I know that the IS200t is more livable in the long run (which is why I ended up with it).

BRZ is cool... if i were a teenager. I respect it for what it is. But that car doesn't even cross my mind. Compared to an IS/3 Series etc, That's an entry level teenager's first **** box to be honest hahaha. f that.

so nobody here cross-shops the ats? jaguar xe? volvo s60 r design too rare?

I'd love to go Camaro SS or even the GT350 if my kids were out of the house. I'm hoping when I decide to switch cars in 3 years, they finally release a new ISF option.

I understand your perspective. They are in completely different niches, but that was the decision for me: cheap, sports car vs. luxurious sedan.

I'm starting off in my professional career, so I wanted a car that would be something I'd still want to get in 10 years later: the IS. The BRZ/FRS is livable enough for me now, but in 5 years, the circumstance may change. If I bought based purely on driving dynamics, it would have been the BRZ/FRS. On a more cynical note, I'm sure the BRZ/FRS wouldn't cause as many assumptions about me at work, but that's a separate story for a different time. Like I mentioned the first time around, I would get another 3IS regardless as my needs and economic status haven't changed too much in the last year.

I'm turning 40 this fall and I'd happily take a BRZ as a fun commuter/weekend car to toss around.

I would go for another IS if they make the new one as or more capable in handling with a stiffer chassis. Also would like to see an improved V6 but the current engine is still good. Using the IS 200t 4 cylinder turbo as an example, Lexus has a far far way to go to be competitive with BMW turbo engines.

Definitely not a Lexus. In today's marketplace reliability alone is not enticing enough. I would go for something that goes faster than it looks (like Lexus of the previous generation) rather than something that looks much faster than it goes. Besides, in areas such as infotainment user interface and hybrid drive Lexus has stagnated and didn't keep up with the competition.
