Do you still have the RX7 or just the Lexus? Keep the Lexus for your wife and get a BRZ/G86?Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply, listening to other’s opinions is appreciated.
Regarding the situation, selling my new Lexus and taking a hit on it is not the worst thing. The Lexus is really not a bad car, and there are things I really like about it, but in the end I’m left wanting something more engaging.
That brings me to the ITS, it’s not exactly what I would prefer, but at this point it’s really the only game in town in this segment. In a perfect world, I’d prefer it to be 400 lbs lighter, and with a normally aspirated V6 of similar hp that ran on 87 octane.
So, considering the current environment of EV’s, having a new model like this is practically a godsend.
I saw that some previous posters have suggested a bigger/heavier/more powerful car, but for my needs with this, that is definitely not me.
A little about me, I’m probably a little older than most folks here and have been playing around with cars since I was 16, so I’m probably outside of Acura’s targeted demographic. Here’s a pic from the mid-nineties. I bought this car new when I was 30 and tracked it throughout the northeast with SCCA, so much fun I truly miss it.
Thanks again for everyone’s comments. I’ll try to get to a dealership next week when I get home from vacation and take a closer look at an ITS.
