Yeah no rush right now. I remember when i got my first 2IS in late 2005 it was nice being the first to have the new model but now rather wait a few years for better options and to ensure a better build.

I'm definitely trading in Batmobile 2.0 (2011 IS) for an all new

BATMOBILE 3.0





My order will go in for a black F-Sport right at line-off. I can't wait!!!!!!

my 2IS is paid off and i really don't want another monthly payment - although i would love to have the 3IS i'm sure, it just isn't practical at the moment unfortunately.

I will wait for a mid-cycle refresh of 3IS until they work out the bugs. I had an 06 IS250 and it had too many recalls...

Wonder you'll be the first one get the IS in here. Post some pictures when you get it. I hope you'll be the first. Three more weeks until it reveal.

I would rather wait for a bit than buying new one when it releases (like my current 2IS, bought it late 2005 as well)

While I like the improvements they've made to the chassis and suspension, I was really hoping for a more potent powerplant to go along with it, so I'll be sticking with my 350 for a while longer, though I will envy the 3IS' as I see them on the road.

That the only reason that can hold me back if it carrry the same engine with 306 horse then I dont know what I'm gonna do. Let still hope it get more power . It not release yet so still some hope.

I bout a 2006 250 in 06 and a 2007 350 on 07, big difference as far as them getting a few kinks corrected that didn't show up until years later. This time around IS F 3rd gen although I haven't seen it, I know it'll be sick and something that I always wanted regardless of them not giving us more power. By the time they release the F everything will be perfect, white F on Black forged wheels...IS F that is, they can keep the F sport I can customize it myself...just my thoughts although its really time to trade in my 350 or get another car.

I would love to get one and probably will but in the 2-3rd year. I never like to get in the 1st year it comes out.
