i see where you're coming from in reference to the IS300 in comparison to a Z8. but most Z8's i see are often left unmodified, and beyond the body styling, the Z8 leaves alot to be desired. so i'm not surprised that a clean stock-bodied IS300 with a perfect drop and gorgeous wheels with the perfect offsets would turn more heads.
don't get me wrong, like i said previously, the Z8 is a beautiful car. but by no means is it BMW's pinnacle of design. and yes, put a stock-bodied MKIV Supra OR a Z3 M Coupe next to a Z8, and i believe the Z8 not to be the better looking car IMO.
you may not be sure about what reality i'm living in, but rest assured, i'm living in reality.

I guess if u go to a ricer meet, more ppl will drool over the IS
same happened with me and my bro's Z4 M roadster
went to a "car meet" (read: ricers)
no attention... ppl were lined up around civics...
doesn't mean the civic is nicer.
