^ thanks yea I just think it might be the color the MRM is a hard sell either you love it or hate it. I mean its an 11 with 46K miles on it and in good condition crazy I see dealers trying to sell used 11's for over $45-47K lol
Oh well I am in no rush so I will hold at $39K

This, especially now that they've announced that it'll have an optional manual transmission.
I guess I should add, I've owned a C5 vette, 1st gen CTS-V, and a Z28 Camaro. Ironically, all had basically the same motor, but the interiors were all garbage compared to the CTS-V.
Every once in a while I miss the extra torque down low, but then I remind myself that I don't have to deal with all the little annoyances that came with GM ownership.

I've rented a C6 for a few days and it was fantastic to drive. I run into a local with a SS and he and I play a little on the way to work. Its not as fast as the ISF stock, but certainly has potential. Its a great looking car as well in person. Add that manual trans you brought up and I might bite in a year or two.

I got rid of a supercharged vette for the IS-F. I do miss the power a lot, the IS-F feels pretty slow when modded 4cyl's are keeping up with me. But I love the reliability of the NA v8, and the quality of the Japanese interior vs the rattling and squeeky interiors of the american cars. I've had 3 vettes, and every time I went back to one I remembered why I sold them to begin with. Definitely a lot of fun to drive though!

While I don't have an ISF I would not trade in my IS350c for any American muscle. My wife and I bought our brother in law for his birthday a Charger and while I liked it I thought it was cheaply made. He then bought a Charger ( traitor. Lol)and it drives like a boat. Big & fast but hardly nimble. The interior is a wee bit better but lacks refinement. But I'll give it points for bringing back an American classic.

I have a new 2014 dodge ram quad cab sport fully loaded as my daily driver and the interior is way nicer than my ISF lol the interactive touch screen info display is great and the layout and leather seating with contrasting stitching is really nice for a truck.
Things have come a long way over the past few years makes my F look boring on the inside

Really interested in seeing how the interiors hold up after a few years on the newly designed american cars. My vettes were all mid 2000's but even with only 20k miles the cheap quality showed itself in the form of worn seats, faded/peeling finish on the buttons and rattles and squeaks in the interiors.
