Post Late late late late...

Sorry for replying to you guys earlier with what I got, but I have been really busy lately with school. In the end I test drove the Is300 and I was really into it, it shifted really smoothly, even tho is was auto, it picked up speed so nicely, it fitted in the saying "Float like a butterfly, Sting like a bee." In the end I mis-wrote some information. The IS300 had about 160k. I was still prtty sure about the IS. The Acura was also pretty nice, It has sport shift, and A LOT more. Its a pretty big coupe.

All in all, I chose the Acura because I wanted to try a different manufacturer's car. I have an 01 Es300 too. I really like the Acura. Very nice BOSE sound system . And the fact that it was a type S model also attracted it more to me.

Hopefully I'll post pics tomorrow, if not ASAP.

Thanks for all the feedback!!
