Angel eyes on the IS would sizzle (even though it would be stolen from the bimmer.)

3 series looks ugly. The rear looks like civic. Why don't you try the rear of the 5 series.

Not my bag of chips. I like the looks of my 2IS just the way it is. I don't know why BMW is always used as a measuring stick.

All these comparisons with Honda: I just don't see it.

I actually like the new exterior design of the 3-Series. It's the interior that makes me gag.
