Mad_Science commented on Top Gear Pits BMW M3 Vs. Lexus IS-F, We Translate Stig's Morse Code

"I've always seen the IS-F as kind of a poseur's car. I know it's genuinely fast, but between the over-designed body treatments and the 8 speed auto...it seems like the most workout any of them will ever get will be to outrun sportier cars on the freeway at night. I know it would smoke my WRX in most situations, but fo rmy money, I'd rather have my car (actually, 3 of them)."

"@Evil-Jeremy: But I think that's the point. No one knows what to do with a sporty Lexus."

"@rlj676-new job, same problems: Tailgates rust out, tailgate motors (or in his case, wiper-motors) stop working, tailgate weatherstripping goes, rear side windows get busted, the gas tank is different, the tail lights are different and paintjobs cost more. Hopefully the floor of his rear tub isn't rusted out like mine."

"+130% of the price of the regular model for +50hp -2 seats +1 acre of carbon fibre? I'll have to wait until we know what the actual performance gains are until I call this a complete rip off."

"The most obvious problem is that unless he has interchangeable sockets, he is, alas, like Tantalus in Hades, desiring to wrench but unable to do so, because the giant wrench fits not one thing on the car."

"The funny part being that to turn said mongo-arm-wrench, he has to jump up and down."

"@Pete Gaines: Gotta use the "Reply To" button. I'm sure you'll get the hang of it one of these days. Also: welcome to the wagon club. The front half of your car is (relatively) easy to find parts for, but you'll pay dearly for the back half."
