It's "busy" but I kinda like it, I like how the passenger side of the dash looks, I find the IS a bit too simple in that area.

Everyone has their own taste, still, this is one heck of an interior coming from GM even if it is a bit busy. At least one domestic company is moving in the right direction.

I'm not arguing it's leap years ahead of where they were just a few yrears ago. It's just a little too busy but they are definately on the right track and at least they are making an honest attempt at a desirable interior.

BMW on the other hand looks like they have completely given up and decided to let Audi have the nice interior niche market.

I'll go with the CTS-V or RS4.

IS-F just looks like poop with that ugly body kit. M3 is a toss up while the C63...never been a fan of Mercedes.

I have an evo 9 not an 8 and no it wasn't a factor at all. it was more of the glorious historied past of the evo as a rally car. right now undecided what to replace the IS300. an IS-F or just the LX570? no BMW or merc for me.

I did'nt include the RS4 only because it's discontinued and it's an old outdated model, even though it could still hold it's own with these guys.

I'd rather they put a smaller (albeit still supercharged) engine, and made other efforts to reduce weight, so that it'd be more tossable. As it stands, this thing would easily melt its tires from a standstill, but I'm pretty sure it won't be nearly as nimble as the M3 or IS-F in the twisties.

For me, the IS-F is #1, then the C63, RS4 (hopefully the newer version would be hotter and quickly climb to #1), and then the M3. I would not pay this much money for a GM product (maybe I'd consider it for $30K, slightly used).
This is SOOO stupid. People how drive this arent going to track the damn thing.

Also because it would run away with the trophy.

True, but it'd be nice as an option.

Well that would obviously change things.

Out of these four, I don't particularly like any of the interiors. The merc is cheap looking, I've alway hated that bulbous center thing that lexus does, and the caddy just looks like they were trying way too hard and it came out all wrong. The bimmer is simple looking, but refined imo.
