i don't really understand why you guys would sell your is350 when its generally the same car. You'll be having the same style IS for that much longer. Same applies to those who traded your is250 for a 350.

Changing the choices after the poll has started, especially since those who have already voted are unable to change their selection if one of the new choices is a better fit, makes the results much less accurate.

Clear your cookies and vote again. Then, if you could be so kind state that you are retracting your vote somewhere. But then the OP has to keep up with it!

What changes / additions were made to the poll? (I can see that it was edited and by whom but not what was added). Just the "In that price range, there are other options.. I'll consider them " option?

There is a market out there for the type of car is the IS-F is. If you own a Corvette and you need to have a backseat, you have to buy another car. Now I know you're thinking, "If you can afford that car, you can also afford a 2nd car", and I'd say that is generally true.
But some people want a vehicle that they can have a trans-continental thrash with. Something they could take to the track and have fun with, but not necessarily want to blow the doors off the local racing professional.
Some people also probably prefer the subdued looks of a high power sports sedan. Law enforcement wouldn't immediately notice the difference, allowing you to fly under the radar. You also don't get every local "ricer" revving on you because they don't know what you have.
There is nothing wrong with going fast and being comfortable while you're at it. That's what the appeal of the IS-F is.
The //M3 is an awesome sports car, but it's still IMO designed to be a touring car 1st. If you want a pure sports car, you can have one for that money, but if your situation or desire leads to you an IS-F, AMG Benz, or //M3 then there will be nothing wrong with any of these automobiles. Look at the success of the //M5. It's no Ferrari, but it's a lot of power with the practicality of 4-doors.
I'm not trying to say that one is better than the other, but for I'm just trying to shed some light on why someone may want an IS-F, while others do not.

No on the IS-F. Will be saving the money for either of the two, hopefully in the next 3 years. Will trade in the BMW and get....
1. Audi R8
2. Lexus SC430 (the replacement of this car, not current model) Of course, this one's the wife's choice!
