I like the way it looks but just one question is the e-shift mod good? ^_^

Toyota/Lexus E-Shift is not really very good. It's slow to shift gears..

If it were as fast as the BMW SMG-II system, then it would be worth it, but, otherwise, try for a manual one, if you can get the IS300 with it, or, a normal automatic.

The automatic is the e-shift. There is in't an automatic when I went to Lexus website. :confused:

In that case, go for a manual gearbox, if you are thinking of being able to have manual shift abilities, because the manual shift controls on the auto gearbox are very slow.

A pity Alfa Romeo cars are not on sale where you are.. I think you'd really like the 156 GTA, with Selespeed (Magneti-Marelli)electro-hydraulic gearbox. (Just hit buttons on the steering wheel, or pull on the gear lever (backwards and forwards) to change gear. No clutch pedal intervention required. It also has "City" mode, where it works like a normal automatic gearbox.

The Alfa's emotive 3,2 litre V6 puts out 190kW, and sounds glorious. It could be dangerous for the drivers license though, with that engine constantly begging to be driven hard.. :D
