My friend gets 38-40mpg in his Fit. I might buy one of these down the road.

Any plans on modding it? Q45 retrofit maybe?

As quick as an IS350 0 - 60? I didn't know fits did 0 - 60 in 5.3 secs lol I think since it's so tiny it feels faster at 30 than your IS does at 80 lol. You could have just went with a used 250 and still had good mileage 30+mpg and kept all the luxury and still be faster but still good choice of car if you wanted to be practical. Why didn't you just wait for the new Fit that's just around the corner? That way you can enjoy your 350 a little bit longer?

Seems to good to be true. One guy just posted on here that he bought a used 2006 IS350 for $29k.

How do you like the Cayenne S? If gas prices go down in a few years I have been thinking about supplementing it with one. I still have hope that gas prices go down in the future which at that time I would keep the Fit as my daily driver and pick up a Porsche or Z06 Vette. Basically a garage queen that comes out on sunny days. I didn’t sell my IS because I couldn’t afford, I did it to be minimalist. Doesn’t mean down the road if things are looking better with the gas I want a true sports car for the weekend and the Fit for the commute (and my image at work which has become a very “green” atmosphere)
