In all honesty I would go look at the SAAB ! Why you ask ? because they can be leased for far less are great looking and can be quite the performer.

Some would argue they are out classed by the three series, I would say try leasing a fully loaded three for 299 a month! Also the new 93 will be out in the fall a gorgeous car and SAAb also has it own in house tuner, so you can buy tunig parts that will peak performance nd not void your warantey. Something different something cool. IMHO

I have never met anyone who owned a SAAB and didnt simply love the cars.

Oh ya the question, The Lexus IS or the CAT, again I would go SAAB, but hey if it were just the two the kitty because its got so much style!
