I've heard about this issue...re: manuals in a Lexus, I think the first-gen IS300 was the only model Lexus made with a stick.

You really dont find sticks in japanese cars anymore. Nor in MBs. all current gens are steptronic. does the IS-F have paddles?

All IS-F have paddles, it's an 8 speed automatic with a locking torque convertor

It doesn't search for gears, just leave it in third and have a blast!

Typically faster from a stop than my M6.

oh ya you parked next to me.

as to the IS-F conversation my friend has one and his wife's IS 350 is faster. the F engine is too heavy for the small amount of extra power.

Besides it being a Lexus, why would anyone buy a car that would kill you for simply driving it? Just look at how desperate their TV ads are now. It took Audi the longest time to recover from their problem in the 80's and they are a German company

I'm pretty sure they are both members on this forum as well....

Go impress a scion TC. I'm ashamed at times.....
You are prob right. What dumba55es...anyone want to step forward and admit the deuches they are?

I've only seen C63s at car meets here in Denver. I don't remember ever seeing one on the street. I've seen many more Audi RS4s out here. I guess the Quattro AWD makes it a more sensible buy for Colorado.

EveryDAY! With all the private bankers & wealthy people in this city, they are just common cars. We see 997's here like y'all see civics in the US.

I ran into Vegas_AMG as I was leaving my parents house and he was pulling out of a side street where he lives. Seen a white one and another black one in my area.

I'm in NYC and I've only seen one so far. Sooo many C300s/C350s though and I'm sure 95% of people can't tell the difference.

i see about 2-3 per day. And no, not always the same ones. There are a lot of them in Montreal. And i think there are more c250/c300 than honda civics around here.

C43 AMG CAB & VIPER
I see mine every day !

But seriously, I've seen only 3 x C63 AMG on the road in my area in the past 2 years (white, black and a palladium like mine). (Montreal and South shore, Quebec, Canada)

Part of the reason I chose it, I like to have "rare" things

Honestly besides mine, I have seen another C63 in god knows how long. Not counting our monthly AMG gatherings.
