Lexus IS-F Debuts

Click here for the story.



Too much rice in that forward side...whatever you wanna call that "bodywork".

I'll take the Cadillac CTS-V when it arrives, thanks.

I agree. The CTS is far more attractive.

Wow, what a way to leave the door wide open for Infiniti to blow this sucker into the weeds in terms of taste. and performance.

Looks awesome, but still little cheap for a car that's gonna compete with BMW M3 and Audi RS.

The perfect car - for me to poop on! So now the Toyota/Lexus fans get their own "5.0"? Hey, maybe Ford can make some extra cash by selling some 5.0 badges to slap on the fenders of this thing!

Are you kidding? This thing is a joke, boring grill & hood area, factory rice front bumper (complete with 2.00 walmart fogs) and side skirts. The performance is right up there but half the fun of going fast is looking good doing it, and this falls flat on it's face.

Okay, it's a little boring looking. Personally, I liked the first gen IS. IMO, it only lacked power. I always thought it was a hot looking car. This one has the performance issue covered but now doesn't look as nice to me. My guess is, the aftermarket will help the car a great deal. I dislike the transmission choice far more than the exterior styling.

I like it, I always liked IS350, so there is no reason not to like IS-F
