Would you rather have a 2008 Caddy STS V-8 or 2008 Lexus IS350? - Page 4

The Caddy looks OK, but too square IMO.

I think the new Lexus looks to long and narrow in the front end.

You call 5 inches longer identical? Totally different class of car dude........That's like comparing a 7-series BMW to a 5-series.

Nobody in the world would cross-shop between an STS and an IS. You should have said CTS and IS.

If anything, the STS would compete with the LS, not the IS.

If I were forced to choose between the 2 I'd go with the Caddy.

Toyota's are boring and lifeless to drive and the IS350 is designed for people who either have ovaries or think that Asian anything is better by default.

If it were the older IS300, I'd choose that.

As soon as I start my new job I am planning on picking up a Superduke, but it probably wont be until August, so it's not the right timeframe. Wish it was, I'd pick that thing up from you in a heartbeat.

For about the same money I'd rather get a Nissan 370Z or an Infinity G37.

Caddy. I absolutely LOVE the STS.

Can I say neither?

<---------------------my dream car.

But, If I absolutely had no choice, the caddy.

There are other cars for the $$$ that I would rather have but between these two I'd probably take the Lexus.
