Nice! I don't see too many silvers around. Maybe you can share some comparisons with your previous car.

Thanks! Drat. I was afraid of that. I've entered a few manually - guess I'll have to update them all. Oh well.

Sure can. The only area where the IS-F lags my M3 is in the handling department, though its not by much. The steering isn't quite as connected. The IS-F is quicker, more fun, more comfortable, and loaded with all the features that I've missed in the M3, which is rather spartan. I certainly considered getting another M3 now that they have the 4 door sedan available, and they WERE offering really cheap financing. But in the end, taking the IS-F through 4000 RPM on my test drive sealed the deal for me.

As great as the E46 M3 was, this car is substantially better for what I'm looking for. Oh, and I personally think the IS-F is one of the best looking cars on the road - this also figured into my decision.

Yes!! I have to confess it took one try to get used to. On my X5, the parking distance goes solid when you are about a foot away. On the IS-F.... a LOT closer. I bumped my garage wall the first time I used it. Oops.
