Yea but it's the replacement model. I'm pretty sure even AWD Camry is roomier inside for less money.

The 3G IS was actually quite good, but only the IS350 F sport RWD. We test drove all of the contemporaries. The MB C350 was a terrible car - wife complained about the brakes and steering. The Audi A4 was old, it was the end of the generation for B8. The BMW F30 3 series was the only one that was good, but then the IS actually drove better, but the BMW had a much more seamless interface.

It drove better than all it's competitors and the interior was nice. We almost bought one.

Honestly the whole lexus lineup aside from the SUV/hatchback thingy you can axe them all except for the ES and the LS. They have too much pride to cancel the LS. They will probably make another halo car to replace the LC cause the CEO is a motorsport enthusiast.

^yes the LF-R... a twin turbo v8 that a GT3 homologation car.

There's talk of them merging the next LC/RC into a RC sized coupe powered by the 2.0L inline 4

So 2025 is the latest 2GR I can shove into my MR2 and might be the last?

I hate these mid size things, and I feel they never work out. Like look what happened to Acura when they did the tlx. It flopped. 2, 4, 6 series. It's either small, medium, or large. Rcf is already to big to be small, and too small to be medium like e class coupe, 6 series. LC isn't as roomy as a s coupe.

I actually really like the 6 series gran coupe.... I mean yes F10 M5... but the F06 gran coupe m6... god... i love it LOL... i know i shouldnt but its like one of those guilty pleasures, I will love to own one, i just think the profile looks great~

2er, is a slightly larger replacement for the 1 series (for the NA market) unless you mean that weird fwd grancoupe thing fuck that thing

4er, I don't really understand why you want to buy it. I test drove one recently. It's cost cut to hell. I can't even see the speedometer; it's barely lit up. Tho unfortunately in my buddy's case his gf can't see when she drives the 5er, so a POS 3/4er it is. After experiencing a 5er, anything less than that is just a cost cut BMW - and I started from a 3er.

6er, see below.

I agree with dark on this one.. I really really like the 6 series gran coupe. Someone please hit me so I can buy a 640i. It's so fcking hard to find a 640i. 650i? Dime a dozen. Gimmie that N55, no BMW V8s for me.

Lately I'm tempted by e60 m5/m6 again, if I'm gonna have to deal with BMW problems I might as well go all out. V10> V8 >l6

Badhobz 01-16-2025 09:03 PM

Yes that m5 v10 aged so well…. Find one in manual and it’s like the bees knees.

noclue 01-16-2025 09:17 PM

Get that JDM imported E60 wagon you gucci

red kryptonite 01-16-2025 09:34 PM

ive never like the styling of the v10 m5/6s, even when they were new. the f06 are sexy.
if i have more money id be swapping the s85 into my e46.

back on topic... lexus should just stick to their suv and have one flagship sports cars.

I know what you think, but PLS DONT DO IT!!!!

I drove a manual E60 M5 Manual about a decade ago

- in all accounts it should be mint
- Brian Jessel Certified Pre-owned
- only 1 owner, last owner was an older gentleman
- no accidents or claims (not even windshield)
- full Brian Jessel service records since day 1
- just a tick under 70,000KM
- fully stock

20min into the test drive which I drove like a normal person with maybe a few stabs of the accelerator here and there..... CEL comes on and goes into limp mode ..... turn off the vehicle, turns back on... still CEL + limp mode... turn off now for a good 10min .... turns back on .... CEL + limp mode....

Limps back to the dealer, and the sales (which thankfully was my friend) was like... yea.... I will let the tech know... but damn LOLOL

From that point in life... I was like... never ever never ever...

But also... I always comes back and listen to the... eisenmann race exhaust (skip to 38 seconds)


The E60 M5 LCI with the "angel eyes" front and "angel wings" back ..... hahahaha I am so sorry I dont understand the hate with Bangle and the E60 styling, I actually really like it lmao... I am such a fanboy

JDMDreams 01-17-2025 10:40 AM

Well basically you're buying the engine, for around the same price I can try to find a c63, gran tourismo. I dunno if isf is too old. I've never driven one but I've driven is350. 300hp was real fast at the time as a learner. And seems more tame compared to the others. Quattroporte seems to be over priced for what people want for them, they get into gran tourismo money. I'm not sure how horrible the V6 V8 stellantis quattroportes are cuz they are retarded cheap like used golf r money. $2-30000. Less than a used Rc. I skimmed last night and people are asking $50000 for a used none f rc :fulloffuck:
