1- Reliability .. have a friend who bought brand new m3 and it broke down first month

3- the ISF has a more distinctive look and then there is the exclusivity ... m3 is everywhere
4- I want to belong to the Lexus circle where owner are more civil and don't hate other brands like BMW owners are always hating
5- The handling and performance is on par with m3 although I think the ISF has better brake feel
6- and then there is that F logo .. a work of art
7- I didn't want 5 people sitting in the car .. adds weight for those rubber burning stop-light bursts (lol)

It is an amazing piece of engineering. F for fun, fast and fenomenal.

#7 was intended as a spin... tried to turn it to a positive. I agree 5 seater would have been better.
Will post pics soon.

A Five seater in a car our size is, IMHO, not a good thing. Ever see Three in the back of an ISX50? Not a pretty sight. Our little console with the semi buckets is a much better solution, again, IMO. I have a carbon fiber insert in my console. BTW, this is my first post that I'm making from my iPad
