I hate to admit it, but with the bmw dealer here in town jacking me around I'm resigned to waiting until the first of the year to see what new comes out. I had high hopes for the IS350 as a possible option. But then I saw the ultra bland styling (I'll still go see it in person) and read the backseat was just as bad as the first gen IS. I don't get it? They had the GS platform to play with, did they think if they put in a decent rear seat that it'd leech sales from the GS? :dunno:

Guess it's moot, the e90 backseat is borderline for us with families (read: having a wife that insists on taking 10 changes of clothes for herself and the kid, plus every imaginable toy/stroller/backpack/crib on a weekend trip) so the IS is totally out. Does anyone under the age of 60 really buy the ES? Who actually spends that kind of change on a rebadged camry? (answer: my in-laws)
