I actually quite like that. Nicer than the Subaru/Toyota pics that have been floating around recently. Shape isn't too dissimilar to the Celica either. A 3 door 2+2 coupe version (SC-F?) with a lower, more sweeping upper line could be very interesting:

as much as i loved the fact that toyota is trying to get back into the game


the isf is a failure.

ive driven it..on the track...and was completely disappointed.

it still needs many improvements before it can keep up with the germans

imho its a step in the right direction, for a first attempt its not bad, but it definatly leaves room for improvment.

ive driven it also, it was a dissapointment, but remember lexus was making it luxury with power at hand as a tiny part of that luxury......
ex. is300 and supra

agreed. the moment i heard about this car i shook my head.

hopefully with some help from a real performance company aka subaru, toyota will start heading in the right direction.

a failure/disappointment compared to what? lol.

i test drove it in the city and on the highway and it was awesome. sounds like you guys didn't drive it right. no offense, i know it's your opinion but i think it's an awesome car. couldn't find anything wrong with it.

one said he drove it on a track, so if he's driven many other cars as well, i could understand that.
for the other guy, not so much

the IS-F is a nice car, but the new M3 is incredible.
Sadly, the IS-F can't compete with the RS, M, or those yet on a course.

but i LOVE the IS-F's transmission...

the transmission is what makes a lexus a lexus! lol

hope you aren't referring to the tranny being too smooth

there's different modes for it, and one allows the 7speed to shift in a quarter of the time of the is350

That sucks, I was just on the Lexus site and seen this. I really liked it, but I will take your word on it.

It's a car for people with too much extra money to spend.

Therefore it's not for me....

[SoundSlut_dotcom]

ok who wants to buy my car? so i can get one of these!?!?

driving it in the city and driving it on a track are two very different things.

when you push the car to its near limits you see just how inferior it is to a m3 or rs4 or c63

It sher has a purty mouth though...

I've seen a IS-F in person too, and I would buy one in a heartbeat if I was rich. Screw the minimal edge you might get from the handling edge of an M3 or Audi. Are we all going to the track and racing our luxury sedans against other executives? No, most are buying these vehicles and don't know crap about cars, but just that they are "keeping up with the joneses" and don't utilize or appreciate the full capabilities of these cars.

youre right, unfortunately for the people who do appreciate the hanlding capabilities of a car, that car lets you down.

taking someones word as the end decision for a car = failure
you need to sit behind the wheel, pop the hood and experience 1st hand to get a real idea.
