    WTF are you even talking about.

    That's because coilovers have less suspension travel (in general).

    When you have a sports car, that comment will make sense. Not a "luxury Toyota."

    I guess if the offsets are too low, it would be easy to rub.

    Well of all the people posting on here, I think it's safe to say I've got the sportiest car here. And I most definitely pay for it. I should add up my gas costs and divide it by the miles I've gone to determine gas cost per mile! I've already got a spreadsheet of mod costs.

    You have a Luxury car, not a "sportiest" car....just because you got a toned down engine from the supra and its RWD dont mean its a sports car...

    Sure it does. It's not a "supercar", which I guess is what you are talking about. But that's what's so cool about it, it's as "luxury" as any Lexus, but with the added sportyness! :D But it's not like I wanted a sports car, I could have gotten one if I did. But I wanted something like the Corolla, but with all the features I either had added or wanted to add. Plus the IS300 looks just amazing. So I had to get it, even though it's not even that fast (plenty fast enough to get in trouble though).

    The Is300 is considered a "Sports Sedan"

    Everyone who's not jelly of me knows the IS is a sports car, just as much as an M3 is a sports car.

    The only lexus that is considered "sport," is the ISF and LFA.

    Yeah, the IS-F is more of a sports car. But I even consider the FRS a sports car.

    How much do you drive on average a day?
    Added: Dec 9, 2012 10:17 PM
    Corolla- $.11 a mile X 140 Miles a day= $15.4.
    IS300- $.18 a mile X 140 Miles a day= $25.2.

    That's about $10 a difference a day times 6 a week is a lota dough lol

    See, I told you lol. Fortunately, I only drive 30 miles a day, so it comes to about $35-$40 a week. (gas prices are lower now, but that $0.18 is an average since I got the car).

    Yeah, that's not bad. I'd be throwing money away on gas and putting too many miles on a luxury car just to go to work. I'll get something nice when I don't commute
