As long as it doesn't drive like the old one. I think my MSP is a better car than the IS300. I thought it was a slow car for having 215 hp and considering that it was stock, it scraped on everything. Too much body roll too.

The new IS looks good. I'll be sure to take it on a longer test drive this time too.

I can't wait to start working on those at work :rolleyes: The GS is having a bit of problems with the O2 sensors.
