First Real Engine sound capture

It does sounds like the IS350 with Fsport intake

What ya'll are missing and what LEXUS isn't telling you is that the 2014 model year will be vastly improved (like the 2007 from the 2006). I don't see a V8 coming but there will be a twin turbo inline 6 (shared with the IS) and the 19" tires and much of the F sport package will be available separately. You will also see the front end soften a bit. Lexus marketing shows that not as many people have warmed up to the new look then was hoped. Art & Science works for Cadillac - not Lexus.

Its always the 2nd and 3rd year of a (six year Lexus) model run that is most interesting. First year buyers are like beta testers for Microsoft's Zume.

Front end is overly aggressive but overall I really like this inside and out....

This is B-Roll that was put together as a long video.

The engine sounds like a normal 2GR-FSE in the IS350 and GS350. The 3.5 w/the F-Sport intake sounds a lot deeper than that.

Haha the interior of that thing is stunning...............though I'm still bothered by the lack of front fog lights.

It seems like a backward step to me (consider regular versions of the GS have them)
