Default Poll - Would you?

sell/trade in for a 2011 if it "fits" your budget? Why not other than for budetary reason? And if you have $$ out the you know what then this poll does not apply.....

To me, the why not would be the assumption that the an all-new redesign will be coming in about 2.5 years?

No way, for me especially since I bought my ISF used...the 2011 would run me 20grand or more if I sold/traded in my 2008 towards it...if I could afford to drop another 20grand I would just get me a GT-R

my ideal f would be a 2010 starfire terra cotta with the 2011 suspension
to sit next to my 08 ultrasonic
blue 1st, white 2nd
id just say 2011 but that new gage cluster is horrid
other then that
the upgrades simply arent enough to justify an upgrade for me

no, I'd just get an 08 ISF used if I were to get another IS. I'll probably just wear out my 350 for another 3-4 years, let it get paid off, get rid of a chunk of debt, and then eventually get a C6 Z06 or E92 m3 used.

That would be like getting divorced (with maybe 2 kids), then re-marrying her twin sister.

I'd consider a 2010 for the LSD and updated NAV. But I'm not going gaga over the new headlights or new dash.

personally, i wouldn't, even if i had the funds. i've gotten quite attached to my 08 F. it might not have the upgraded navigation, LSD, revised headlights, revised suspension, or piano black interior. but i do miss that new car smell...

Yup, the new dash along with the Torson and the new darker carbon fiber would do it for me. But, Don't have the bucks so I'm hangin' on what I have. I luv it, but with the '11, I'd luv it more

2010 yes for the LSD
2011 no as it loses the steering headlights and I don't like neither the DRL nor the new dash

Too many mods to trade for essentially the same car. New features are nice but not enough to differentiate for my uses.

My thought exactly I've thought about it but then I get in my F and completely erase the thoughts

Same here...

Only part that makes sense would be the OEM Torsen unit.. (to add on)

Mines a keeper for life!!!

I intend to keep my car for at least another 10 years. But if I had the funds to change, I would get an M3 instead.

I'd like the updated suspension and the LSD - they directly apply to my intended use for the car. The part I don't like is the accelerator/brake interlock crap. I'd have to figure out a whole different way of bedding in brakes than I use now.
