I'm pretty excited also! I paid $31K for my 6MT G in April of 2004 from a guy when it had 8K miles. Dealer was only going to give me 22K for it so my wife and I took her over to Carmax and they gave me $24K. They took the G and I took the equity back in a check to put toward the IS. My wife also thinks the interior is a lot nicer in the IS. My G had some mods but yeah, I'll miss that low end torque. Both great cars just in differ ways!
Here's a link to my G I just sold on Tuesday. Took all the mods off and sold the car stock. Been ebaying all my mods this week so I made out even better.
