Here's my ride. 2006 Prius. The husband and I nicknamed it "The Black Pearl". One of the best investments I've ever made. During the summer months I can get close to 58 mpg out of her. Can't wait for a full-electric model.
I originally thought about the m3 but not the RS4 or C63. Also from the reviews I have read and watch seems as though the m3 is not competing well against the IS-F, RS4, and C63. I called up a local lexus dealer to see if they had an IS-F just for kicks and they said they got one in a day ago. I checked it out and the representative said that it was for someone on the waiting list and that he would call if he dropped out. So 2 days later turns out the guy dropped out for the Smokey Granite Mica and was available. I guess I just got lucky and did not have to get on the list so I ended up getting
It's an awesome car. Rides amazing and steering is very tight, especially in sport mode. I would much rather have a 6 speed instead of the 8 speed transmission they put in the IS-F. I've also never owned a car with paddle shifters so I have been having tons of fun. I'm at 801 miles at the moment (break in period on manual is 621 but dealers said 1000) So I'm still holding back from completely opening it up until I get to 1000. When that 2nd intake opens around 4k RPMs the car sounds absolutely amazing

I watched the fifth gear review of that beast, Is it as annoying as they say it is? Meaning the Beep sound when your over reving and need to shift and the beep when it wont downshift because it will over rev the engine? By over rev I mean actually shift properly. Anyways mate, beautiful car, I'm currently saving up for a 08 VW GTI myself. And once my MBA is done and money rolls in It's onto the Maserati Gran Turismo for me =P
I've heard the beep only once, I think it's when it's pretty much completely redlined I'll have to test that out. Just broke it in so I've been having lots of fun and haven't heard any beeps. It rev matches when you downshift and no beep.
Here's some from yesterday... I was doing a shoot for the Mass State Police, but since I had access to closed roads, I figured I would snap some shots of my car (a 2000 Chrysler Concorde) in the process.
this is going to be my new car

Considering I was allowed to drive per police guidelines while on the shoot, I felt like I was in pursuit!Very nice. Kinda looks like your car is chasing the Crown Vic. lol
By any chance, did you happen to own a Plymouth Breeze before your Concorde or how did you come up with that user name?
17" 5Zigen GN+ Pro on Hankook iPike 409. I couldn't sell them so I used them as my Winters. My sister who also has the Coupe/2.5S will be getting them next year. The OEM/17" will be my new Winters and will pick up 18's this Summer.
A few days after we picked them up in October.
Yup, I drive a short bus and I love it!
