Right, because Civic SI is just a regular Civic for everyday folks and its the most popular selling Civic amongst all its other Civic models. Just like how the IS250 is the dedicated sports car of its range of IS350, and ISF.
By the way, why arent you in an ISF? Cant afford it?![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
Why are you driving a 350 when your car is slower than a M3? Because we all know when we mention that BMW 3 series vs Lexus IS, we meant the M3.
Oh how about vs the C63? Because we all know your 350 is so slow compare to a C class

You mad? Why are you in a IS250? Can't afford a IS350? I can afford a IS-F if I want to but in 2008 IS-F just came out 1 week after I bought my car. Plus they have a 10k markup.

Will you guys please stop fighting? It really feels yucky in here now.
We're supposed to be friends. We all have ISs and that's what counts. It's a brotherhood. Not a which one is betterhood.
Please?

Why would we compare a 10k Civic to a IS250? The closest thing to a IS250 is the Civic SI.

Yeah when I bought my 250 I was in college so I couldn't afford a 350 brand new, nothing to be ashamed of. That was almost 5 years ago, and my car has almost 80k miles on it now, no point upgrading to the same looking car.
We are comparing 10k civic to a 250 because we are comparing 90% of the cars on the road.

You must be delusional if you think all the Accords on the road are V6 models, all the Camry on the roads are V6 models, all the Lancers on the road are Evos and all the Civics are SI.

Cant you read? 90% of the cars on the road includes minivans and smart cars, all of them are legit comparisons.

If you can't afford a IS350 why talk ***** and say I can't afford a ISF?
I am comparing a Civic SI because it is closest in performance and price to the IS250. Well I guess you disrespect your IS250 because you have to compare it to the lowest Civic trim.
Btw, to that ninja edit you did earlier.. why would people compare a IS350 to a M3 or C63? It is 20-30k more in price. The IS350 is direct competitor to the 335 and C350.

How does that not mean I can't afford a ISF? They had it for 10k more than MSRP. If they didn't have it I could of easily bought it. O yeah, btw, my other car is a brand new 60k Audi I just bought few months ago.

We were discussing how the car is not slower than 90% of the cars on the road. How the car will perform as a daily driver.
By purposely skewing the argument and comparing the 250, which by itself is a lower trim model aimed at the masses, against specialized production models whether it is the SI or Arial Atom, you are purposely being biased. I am not disrespecting myself by comparing my car to a normal trimmed Civic because I dont need to stroke my ego, my car rocks for driving my to places compared to a Civic or a Mercury even if I can buy 2 Civics with the price.
If you want to be skewed then the same can be said of your 350 vs a C63? Why not? Is it not a C class vs IS?
By your argument why would anyone buy a 250? Why not for all of us who could not have afford a 350 at the moment buy a Civic SI?
Unless you are hinting that some how we are all Lexus poseurs or are below your intelligence level?
Again, what was the point of you being in here and posting what you did if not for the above?
BTW I want to ask, why can you afford a 60k Audi but not a 10k markup of an ISF - the trade on your 350?

Is that really your argument?!? You are dumb as **** then. We are talking about the is250 here. Why the he'll would you even mention the is-f? We all know the oaf is a totally different car. That's like comparing a base lancer to a evo.
You must be mentality challenged. People bought the 250 because some like the awd option for committed who want a compact luxury vehicle. Your argument bares nothing. Think before you talk.

I'm pretty sure the OP has gotten his answer guys.
Why are you guys comparing these cars again? Because as I see it, it has very little to do with what he is asking. Now you guys are making a hash of things.
