The current IS looks MUCH nicer IMO.

no joke.


I like parts of it but other parts of the design are too much...like the white seats.

The hood bulges awkwardly... not a fan of the automatic.

Can you imagine how many times you would have to shift in a manual 8 speed tranny just going to the store? I'd take that in an auto thank you.

Tell you what unless you've driven a GOOD paddle/floor shift automatic I wouldn't down it.

I've gotten the chance to drive a few 335is and a few exotic cars with these units if tuned right they are hard to beat.

Just try the DSG's of VW/Audi. You can see what it's about

I like it minus some minor stylin issues already mentioned.
