join the rx8 nation I just can't seem to pull the trigger. anyway thanks to
those that have provided helpful information and opinions along the way.
I will remain envious!!

Honestly I think the IS series is a joke... not the most comparable cars. Even the new IS series is nothing compared to the BMW 3s or Infiniti G35. I know, they were the other cars I was considering. Then again, I never liked Lexus because they do not cater to sports car enthusiasts.
Short, go for the Rx-8 or look for more options. If you like the IS type thing, the Audi 4 was my favorite of the low end luxury cars.

Well....let's see....you posted in a RX-8 board...more than likely 98% of the members own an 8...so what do you think? Did you post the same question at IS300.net? Just curious.
Many of us choose the RX-8 for our own reasons, of which I am sure consisted of comparison shopping. All comes down to personal taste.

One ride in both and the only area where the Toyota has a slight edge is gas mileage. Everywhere else, chassis/handling/engine/steering/interior the advantage is heavily RX-8.
One of them is purpose-built performance; the other, I'm willing to bet (knowing how Toyota operates) is built from a shitbox platform. Which one would you want to drive?
