Driving around duluth today I noticed every IS300 was a asian driver. Just wondered if anyone else noticed that as well.

let me explain it to you:
IS300 = overglorified camry
you know how asians love them some camrys... lolol
/thread
I hope your joking. The Camry is FWD, built in America for America with a I-4 or V-6. IS was built for Europe and Japan and in IS 300 form, for America. RWD, I-6 (I-4 available in the Altezza in Europe).Originally Posted by RandomGuy
The 2 cars are so far apart its not even funny. We got many IS 300 owners on SELOC and they are a diverse group of people.

you're mistaken they're V4, not V6 and they are both exactly the same except the body and interior the IS350 is an overglorified toyota avalonOriginally Posted by 1SICKLEX
I've never seen a V4 IS300 in the U.S., unless I read that wrongOriginally Posted by RandomGuy
. I think the ES-series more closely resembles the Avalons. I know the old Avalons looked exactly like Lexus' cars, except with a Toyota badge and more gadgets. The IS350 looks and resembles nothing like any of the current Toyota lineup though.
BTW, the old Camrys (~1997) sucked. I've had two friends that almost died in car accidents because the chassis basically got ripped in half. Toyota safety features FTL!

also... they do make the camry in 4 and 6 cylinder applications. and you must either be smoking crack or high on sniffing too much glue cuz an is350 looks nothing like an avalon.... there is another toyota in japan that resembles the avalon, but it isn't an is350.

You are a retard! V4?! WTF! There is no Toyota with a V4, some have I4.Originally Posted by RandomGuy
And your comment about the IS350 is just stupid. Learn the cars before posting here. I give you an F- for car knowledge, which is probably why you have a Starion.![]()

i actually would have preferred it being a toyota cuz it would have cost alot less... but you can't put a price on service(ok.. i just said that to justify me buying an glorified toyota....but i feel better and thats all that matters. )

If you are talking about Camry's, then you are talking about Indians favorite cars.
in case you didn't knowOriginally Posted by Fred Sanford
India is in Asia
Thanks for that input professor. I was being SPECIFIC. You know..pinpointing a specific race and matching them to a specific car.Originally Posted by RandomGuy
I'm pretty sure I know a lot more about geography than you, among other things. Since you are such a geography guru, why are you only showing a picture of SE Asia when the title said Asia? That would cover Asia as a whole. Technically, Russians should be driving IS300's as well right? After all, they are part of Asia. Please, dazzle me some more with your in-depth knowledge of world geography.![]()
lol i was actually gonna get an is300 last year, but it's pretty slowww for a lexus. actually asians love their accords. i have two, and my relatives all have at least 1 in the family![]()
anyone also notice mustangs with flames and big spoilers in the back? there are usually driven by mexicans..![]()
Now wait a sec....Originally Posted by phongt12
....you said you didn't get an IS300 because it was "sloooow", yet you got an Accord instead.....
. That means you DEFINETLY weren't looking for speed then, right?

Until just recently, Lexus were NEVER designed with speed/power in mind. They were designed for a totally different reason. So maybe you just expected the wrong trait when you were car shopping. Kinda like looking for an easy lay at a Billy Graham revival.....just aint the right place even if they have the right equipment.....![]()
stock for stock, i test drove both and the accord v6 was by far faster. the is300 was pretty nice inside and out, but the engine was noticeably slower. why don't you go to a honda dealership and test drive a brand new 06/07 accord v6 6mt and tell me it's "slow" or even an auto for that matter. it's definitely faster than the is300. now, i will admit that the accord is no dazzler in the looks department. also, the insurance is cheaper, maintenance is cheaper, engine is more powerful, and it's newer. it's not like i'm going racing in my car lol. as soon as i finish graduate school, i will definitely be trading in this accord for an is350 or whatever they have by then. it'll be more financially feasible for me.Originally Posted by Jaimecbr900

Sorry pal, but you're comparing apples to jumbo jets.Originally Posted by phongt12
In 06 and 07 there were no IS300's, only IS350's. Now you wanna compare again??? I doubt it. So if you want to compare Honda's 06 V6 then compare it to an 06 Lexus V6, which we all know what the outcome of that is.
A 240hp V-6 Accord is a tad bit quicker than a 215hp IS 300. IS 300 was never that fast stock, 0-60 in low 7s with the auto and 6.9 with the manual and mid 6s with the L-tuned mods. Its better in twisties though, the handling was described as good if not better than a 3 series at the time.Originally Posted by phongt12
Hope to see you in a Lexus soon!

It used to be iroc z. I asked my mexican friend Geardo whats up with the mexican ricers. I mean they have the cars with the little rims all spaced out or the nike symbols on the back windshield. he said in mexico they didnt have a car just a bicycle so when they got over here they just go crazy with the gaudi shit.
I had a camry and I hated it. So far we got a Ford Expedition Eddie Baurer, BMW X3, Mini Cooper, and Honda Prelude.
WOW, now thats funy, I like this post. I mean thats what whoreslounge is about right? Random thoughts and rants.
eh i guess i fall into that category then. since i'm shopping for one atm
camry's american made? i did not know that. no wonder why it died on me.
the older ones aren't, only the newer onesOriginally Posted by itsjustdee

You have to be kidding. Avalon is Camry based. IS 250/350 is based off a shortened GS platform. No one has a V-4. Its an I-4.Originally Posted by RandomGuy
