Your avatar no longer slobbers.
And one of my attainable dream cars is an is300 w/ 2jz and 6spd...can't stand the look of the wagon though. Pretty rare as I've only seen maybe two on the road.

Why'd you get the wagon? I've got a lot of love for the is300 but I like the sedan better. Good luck with it though, I've been thinking of doing the same thing too. Selling the kouki and getting a is300.

Nice, I love the IS300 mechanically, but the styling of the sedan is horrible. The wagon is a lot better looking.

I've only ever seen one or two wagons in person.

That IS300 wagon was on my very short list of cars when before I bought my WRX wagon.

The lack of a manual option (did they even make a manual wagon?) kept me from seriously looking into them.

That said, they're good looking, good driving cars with one of my favorite instrument clusters ever. Whatever option gets the tach in the middle is mega-win: Image

Shame on Toyota for calling it a hatchback, though. Wagon power!

These are super cool, good choice.

Needs boost and a third pedal, some low, and AME Tracers.
