your asking the audi community if you should sell your audi and buy a lexus? obviously we would disagree, but by asking that your looking for a reason not to do it.

i wanted an is300 before i got my a4, but the insurance on a lexus was insane, its pretty decent for an audi

Do what you feel, you gotta drive it. I like is's but RWD isn't really practical for a Denver DD.

you call this upgrading? do you have any idea how small a is300 interior are. the biggest downfall for the is300 are the mpg and the power it produce for that size of a engine. the only good thing i like about it are the RWD but i would not choose a is300 for an idea of a drift car.

ive drifted my audi before.. IMHO with a lexus your paying for the name. and i bet the parts would cost 3x as much as an audi would.
