I really miss my '01 MSM. These shots are 3 years apart in the same spot. I thought buying this DWP would solve my sadness missing my '01, but I'm starting to think it was all about the MSM.........

Thanks

OK this is weird. I get a call from the dealer who says he apologizes that he told me this was the one that was repainted DWP, he had 2 white '02 IS300's on the lot and he was wrong. "Sorry for the confusion".

The whole time I have been sitting here thinking "the car really doesn't LOOK repainted". LOL!

I think the key here is try not to make the new IS into your old IS. Same model, different car rite so treat them that way. If you spend all your time thinking about the old one and trying to make the new one like the old one of course you'll never be happy.

I may be biased, but I like the white

Great comparison, but I like the white one better. btw do you still have your SC? If you still have it, you need to do a IS300 and SC photoshoot, I love both cars, and am looking to add a SC, hopefully later this year, in addition to having my IS300.
