I'm some what new to the Is300, I'm in a toss up between a rsx type s and a is300. my question is.. a few years back I'v seen lexus that look like the is300 but in a coupe/2door version. anyone able to help me find this car?

 

the closest thing would be an sc300 but it looks nothing like the is300.

 

I believe perhaps he was looking at the SC430.

 

the back end looked like the Is300, but it was a 2dr.

 

maybe you saw a photoshopped image because IS never comes in a coupe version

 

Is there any other type of lexus that looks almost like the Is300?

 

I think we just covered that.

 

maybe you saw a civic

 

Must of been a one off car. Anyway quick advice if you are going to turbo the car(which is expensive, but you end up with a four door supra) get a IS300, if you keep it NA get a RSX type S. What else is importmant to you in car choice?

 

There is no IS300 coupe. you probably saw a random car with Altezza tail light or retro fitted rear end. Go test drive IS300 and type S and see which one you like most. the difference between both cars should be day and night since one is FWD and one is RWD

 

Doesn't exist, but there is a chop floating around.

 

Yep,

Photoshopped. I think a 1gen coupe would take away from the essence of the IS300 IMO.

 

insurance cost, and over all performance, I don't like cars where I can hear a pen drop inside.. I want to be able to hear the car so I know what's going on. needs to be a manual, and have no issues what so ever for a long period of time.

 

insurance... is300 is definitely the wrong car then... insurance is extremely high. overall performance? are you talking about stock or modified? both rsx and is300 can have no issues if well taken cared of. its easier to find an rsx manual than an is300. and the pen drop sound... depends on how loud your music is lol

 

yeah insurance is a b*tch so get quotes before you get your heart set one way or another. the is300 is ranked top 10 costs for insurance...just not sure where the rsx-s sits.
