Lexus > Audi in...... quality, reliability, ease of maintenance (labor), cheaper maintenance (parts), practicality, speed, power, room, and the list goes on my pick, the IS350, not because im biased, but i've worked on VW's and i would never own one. what are some reasons? unreliable, difficulty of maintenance (labor), costly maintenance (parts), etc. plus, does the audi have ball coolers? aka our seat cooling functions in our cars.

I really have issue with the fact that the exterior looks like a feminized 350z, and the 350z is already somewhat of a chick car.

Hell, the IS 350 is often described as being very lightly "feminine" but it's NOTHING compared to that audi TTS

I don't mind driving a slightly feminine looking car but the audi tts is really pushing it.


i wouldn't mind driving the feminine 350z for example, although they did make the car more manly with the 370z styling.

Really tough choice. Both are nice cars to have, but if I were to choose I'll go for the IS. Not that I already own one, but for convenience reason. More seats are better than none, maybe family need a ride or a friend. Also TT seem to be on the feminine side.

well yes the IS does have some femininity to it but it's NOTHING like the TTS. The TTS is just, wow. It's an egg, it's way too "cute" looking.

Personally I like my car to have a very slight tinge of "femininity" to it. I don't like the look of pure manliness (older american muscle car look)

this whole giving a car a gender thing is retarded. just cause a TT has a bunch of curves and is shaped like a egg it makes it a girls car? so what r little porches and what not? nice n curvy eggs right?

as far as my opinion goes i say the TT cause i think it looks nice, 2 doors and the S is a good performer. ontop of that im tired of seeing a million IS's in hawaii
