looks nicer and is bett? Audi S5 AWD $62,000
Lexus ISF RWD $48000 (W/ all incentives)
(Would need to by $3,200 rims and tires for winter on ISF)

I'm in the same boat, although I'm also considering the C63 AMG. The Lexus and MB are obviously faster more high performance cars, but neither of them look that unique in that there are plenty C class MBs and IS Lexus' out there. You just don't see many A5/S5 out there and add to that the quattro and being a coupe vs sedan. I still love that 400+ hp of the others though... torn. :confused:

You are right that they are faster but when you compare it with Audi then i can challenge both are inferior

I WAS in the same boat. I had (still have) a BMW 335i... as of two weeks ago I got my S5. IMO the only other car out there in the price range that looks anywhere near as nice is a M3. The Lexus is just that... A lexus. It has fake exhaust tips, cheap bits in the interior, and lets face it... it's ugly. The body kit does nothing for me, I actually prefer the reg IS350 over it.

I got the S5 for looks, sound, and interior. Because for me, if you think about it, you spend a min walking up to your car, and the whole rest of the time inside of it. The exhaust note is supurb and man, it goes like a bat out of hell!

Best of luck to you in your decision!
