    That's a good car. I want to see the next gen IS, which should be released sometime next year to see what they do with it. It'll definitely have the Predator spindle grille, lol :

    REPPED! God, their employees seem so uninterested, the dealership is ghetto, plus their cars are so plain and vanilla now. Add in their terrible rep, you made a damn good decision bro. Congrats!

    Good choice. Love mine. Reliability has been bullet proof and the folks at the dealership are top notch.

    I used to drive a Lexus, and while they're clearly great cars, they dont differentiate themselves enough from Toyota to me to justify the premium.

    Congrats though. I drove a 350 three or four years back and it was very fun - had it up into the 120s and did t seem like I was even trying. Definitely the mos fun Lexus, coupe/f version aside.

    Guys, what are some coupes that are comparable to the Audi S5? I'm considering getting a S5 but it seems that everyone always complains about their potential electrical/mechanical problems. But it doesn't seem like there are that many comparable coupes out there... what are some close to the S5's price range (cheaper is fine, but not too much more expensive)? Oh and no BMWs please.

    S5 is basically a coupe with AWD

    so look for coupes with AWD, even though u mentioned no BMW, closest rival is the 335x

    Since you said you weren't interested in BMW, how about an Infiniti G37X Coupe with AWD? Or... a Cadillac CTS Coupe with AWD?
