Question Would you get the same IS next time?

New improved poll time!


With all the accidents around here lately it got me thinking.....

After my accident I tried my hardest to get it totaled out so I could get a new car. I know BWB (light silvery blue) is most accident prone color so I wanted to get another 250 with navi but in another color.




Here's the question:

If something happened to your car tomorrow, would you get the same 250/350 and get the exact same color as you have now or would you change something?

As much as i love my is350, I think I'd want to change over to a 335i coupe or more sportier car. Maybe the 1 series

Variety is the spice of life.

The G37, TSX, Civic Hybrid, and GTI would be on my list. Maybe a SLK if I fit in it.

considering i'm trying to stay lexus optimistic, i'd upgrade from the 250 to the 350, and get more options and a different color (SGM, i think i'm done with black/dark cars for a while, theyre just way to hard to take care of)

as for switching, a 3 series bimmer is up there on the list, and if i win the lottery maybe the C63 AMG =p

yea im really interested to see how the next gen IS is going to look. But I can bet its going to be a huge improvement. Right now my next car would be the superchaged Audi S4. Depending on reliability of the forced induction. And how it handles flashes

Ummm, I would have to humbly disagree with you that BWB is the most accident prone color. That distinction unfortunately belongs to Glacier Frost Mica!!! Between pocky, knihc2008, and my own personal parade of people hitting me, the body shops around LA should already have Lexus 074 paint in stock...

Anyway, after my recent accident, I seriously thought about buying a 335i couple - until I sat in one. The interior makes you feel like you're sitting in a 1985 Chevy Cavalier. UGLY. It was a good trip to the dealership though, because it reaffirmed my decision to keep my car, and it made me like my car all that much more. If I had to make the same decision, I'd get the same car in the same color, only with NAVI this time.

Customed ordered my car, so if I had to get another car, I would have to Special Order the same exact car to be happy.

The only thing that I would change is if they had a hardtop convertible version, which I may Special Order when Lexus announces it by next year...
