Default Would you trade your ISx50 for an IS-F?

if you could, would you? i'm leaning towards it, but i'm not sure if i want to yet. i know the IS-F is faster, stronger, and meaner looking, but i really like the styling of my IS more and we have ventilated seats hehe. Plus there is a little more aftermarket support . I'm not sure what i want to do it's really just a thought though. maybe i just need to go test drive one and see what happens

After eveything ive put into my car No. Id rather have a Nice looking IS 350 > Than a Stock ISF. I could have potentially had an ISF, but idk im not really a fan of the front. Sure the car is faster from a roll, and all, but idk, there just something about the isx50s that i like way more than the F's. Maybe im craZY....

see that's how i feel... a while back i wanted to do a ISF front to be different but i'm out of that stage.. i just really like the front better on ISx50's.. that's why i'm kinda torn... bside lip kits, everything else could be transfered over from my car now & if i got starfire pearl it would be like if i still had the same car but gave it the ISF treatment. kinda. i would def. need coilovers and slammed it

For free? sure.

For $15,000-20,000, not so much.

250->350 is a vastly better bang/buck upgrade than 350->F for any sorta on-the-streets driving. I already owned a car that had stupid hp for street driving anyway (decent bit more than the IS-F has). I sold it for my 350.

I will consider it (depending on what's happening with my stock portfolio).

But I agree the IS350 is the best bang for the buck of the IS products.

I wish for free hehe.. but saying that if i had the mean and able to trade it in for IS-F... sorry i wasn't clear in my first post. 15k-20k is a lot of money. and that is the other thing that's keeping me on the fence about it.. i'm not sure it's worth it. besides the exterior, almost everything in the interior of the is-f is pretty much the same except for the gauges, seats and etc.

No I would upgrade to a 350 tho if u have a 250, I just like the flow of the x50 more than the F

Id wait for the 2012 redesign. If you did the trade, you would only be cool for a year and half, then you would want the new one.

Gonna do it next year....I maybe a rare few here that actually beats up my IS350 (Saying that cuz don't see many out at the track(road course), Ummm non but Toe)...So when i get one i will be doing more than just street driving...But if i were to just cruzz streets than the 350 is more than enough...
