Lexus IS F? Direct Competitor?

Woah, pretty impressive car by the looks of it.

Direct competitor for the Liberty TB STi? nah.... I think it is aimed at the M3's and the AMG's of the automotive world.

V8, 8 Speed @ $129k damn. Anyone upgrading?

311Kw... I wouldn't mind a test drive at all

I think Lexus set out to make it an M3 beater. Specs look like it may do exactly what it set out to do

Be interesting to see a comparison when the M3 finally comes out with it's 7 speed SMG3.

After I saw the IS-F in the flesh, I can't say I'm an overall fan of the styling. Still a bit too box like... Especially since its ment to be part of the sports sedan market.

I wonder if HKS make any parts for it :wink:

+1
I'm a big fan of the IS350's but there are many other cars that i'd rather purchase in the IS-F's price range

i've got a test drive this Saturday, might cancel it though. Coz if I turn up, temptation might get to me.

The only thing that will stop me getting one is Subaru offer a V8 in the next Liberty :wink:
