i wouldnt get too excited over the is-f just yet. i read that lexus is now saying that the is-f wasnt meant to compete with the m3 and the s4. that leads me to believe that the is-f might not be the performer that its hyped up to be and now lexus is pre-empting any negative press.

So look at the top 10 riches men in the world... over like 3 of them drive crappy cars (even considered by the low income people), 4 drive cars that the average joe could buy, and only 3 drive the showy exotics...

Yep, some people just don't put any importance on the car they drive. A guy I went to highschool with is a multi-millionaire, but he drives a Toyota Camry with the 4 cylinder engine. He also lives in an apartment.

Another guy [I used to work] with who makes lots of money drives a really old Toyota Corolla with about 150000 miles on it. The car is is strictly transportation to him and he wouldn't want to spend more on transportation. He thinks I'm crazy to buy a fancy car.

Here is an interesting article on the topic of the cars that wealthy people drive:
