Asian cars are combo meal, Euros works on an a la carte system.

Base M3 and C63 don't even come with keys, steering wheel or a windshield, everything is optional, they just give you a rolling chassis.............JK, I think they do come with a driver seat.
i think seat belt included too... just in case, you know

M3 with similar eqipment may cost more but at least it can be had with 2 doors. It's really hard for me to consider the ISF a sport car with those 4 doors.
Now that the C63 comes in a coupe, it's time for Lexus to get off the hump and get on the bandwagon. It's just not proper with all those doors.

Yes seat belt is standard, but the buckle is optional

Just weld the 2 rear doors shut and remove the rear seats............does that make you feel better?

this thread is pointless since a price comparison has not been done with comparable equipment.
