Ignorance is bliss in this case, better to not know what I won't have.

I drove a C230K loaner once and I have to admit, it was a pretty good drive. It was a brand-new loaner, nary 30 miles on it. Looked good in white. The 230K engine pulled well. The handling was a bit light but still responsive. The ride was not bad either. Interior materials not bad. I know reliability isn't great but I left the car pretty impressed.
That said, I think that while the C230K is a good car, the IS is just better, and it should be. It's newer. It looks better. The interior looks nicer. It has better materials and toys. The steering has better progression. And of course, there's more power. I'd say the IS < C230K on the freeway, or general ride, even.
