Hi Flare:

___I test drove an IS about a year ago ($50.00 Gift Certificate for PDA SW) and didn’t like it myself. The plastic cross hash pattern dash looked like something from an inexpensive GM automobile and it felt very heavy. I liked the exterior (quasi hopped up 3 series) but it was as rough riding as my Insight in max mileage form.

___The LS on the other hand was very very nice My age is showing, isn’t it …

___Good Luck
