I've been playing with this lately and it is a ton of fun for commuting. Yeah it sucks in the twisties

Fun? Aren't Lexus cars for people who don't like driving?

I guess it depends on what you are doing. When driving from OC to LA during heavy traffic, I would pick the Lexus over the boxer each and every time. The drive is so much more enjoyable when you don't have to hear each and every sound the cars around you make as you drive. The ability to shut the hardtop and the outside noise is a big plus. The softer ride is also a plus with the horrible roads we have here commuting

I guess that could be fun. Like in the way a nice long nap is fun.

Hey it's a moving sofa with a very nice sound system... what more can you ask for when you need a nap?

An older Camaro or Corvette for the same amount of money. I could have driven the hell out of it on the track without it blowing up, and it would have been cheaper to own and maintain.
