TRUE
Ya, Very true. I was thinking if i do get a SE-R i could just spend those extra $10,000(give or take) that i would have spent on the IS and fix the SE-R up real nice! But then again i would have wanted an Lexus IS300 LTuned Series 2

You've got to be kidding me...this is not confusing at all!!! IS300 ALL THE WAY BABY!!!! It's like Nike's or Pro Wings?!?!?! hmmmmm 
It's not that tough of a decision!! Yes you would be spending more money...but its well worth it!!

it really depends on what you're looking for in a car. You're compare two cars that don't compete in the same market nor to the same customers.
The Sentra is a nice car if you like the styling. The build quality will NOT be as good as a IS300 but it is fast and inexpensive. Like you said, the money you save on the Sentra can be put back into the car to do some nice mods...
The IS300 is fast enough to kill you. It's not the fastest car on the street but it's a nice looking car, the interior is "interesting", it's build solid, will last, and it's luxurious...
Either way, you're getting a decent car for the price...

Wicked fast? 5.7 sec. isnt wicked, 4.0 is wicked in the z06.
The front lights are huge and ugly, but the rest of the car is nice... cant wait for the rally to come out (repeat)

Yes, the WRX is fast, looks good, yada, yada, yada....go to the dealership and sit in one, then close the door...listen very carefully...try it again...does that sound solid to you? 
How do you think the rest of the car is built? Don't fool yourself with Rally races and whatnot, those are NOT normal street cars. They are PURPOSE BUILT...
The Z06 is also a nice car if you're into "American muscle" cars.
Like I said, you have to really figure out what you want...
Personally, I would rather have a Turbocharged IS300 over a Z06...Corvettes have never done anything for me...

hum...

im here with u........the IS300 is a way better deal and overall, it's freakin' luxurious............the other cars maybe fast but there's something about lexus that makes you want one. i love the look of the z06 but it's american, no offense, but you know that in 2 years you're going to get a new car. for the price of the IS3, you're no lonely getting a good deal, but a way better engine as well.....
