Well if you have a GS already then there is no real point to buy a IS. So based on that I would go for the RX (01+)

personally ive allways hated rx's, and since you have a gs already, getting the is would be pointless, so i would go for a nice bmw x5 or mercedes m class, but thats just me

Well if you want a grocery-getter that is also fun to drive, get an IS300 SportCross. Good luck finding one for under 10k though...

since you already got a GS and a Mustang. You got no kids. Why would you want an SUV? Save that money for mods instead bro.

lol, my buddy has a 2002 clk 55 amg, man that damn thing is so fun to drive and i drive it every time we hang out, its fun as hell but rotors alone are 1400, everything on that car is so darn expensive over the clk430 and 320.

i have thought about this alot, i dont care much for the m but the x5 is pretty sweet, i just love the reliability of lexus, i feel comfortable with them
