I agree with this. The competitors are stepping up their game while we pin our heads on Reliability. If that was a the case I would drive a Camry. My 2016 is350 should not be getting beat by a 2012 is350 or a 2013 335i sedan lol

I'm having trouble justifying getting another IS350 in the fall when my lease is up. I just test drove the new audi A4 and it's 4cyl is just as smooth as the 6 cyl in the Lexus. It feels faster and there isn't any turbo lag to speak of. Handling, braking, and comfort over broken pavement with the 19" sport pkg wheels was superb. Where's the 19" wheel option for Lexus? 4-6 mpg over the IS350 is a plus also. Lexus needs to wow me with the new nav screen, driver assists and interior because the front of the 2017 Lexus is starting to really look like an alien spaceship or a catfish with this refresh. Audi's new 12" virtual cockpit absolutely smokes the Lexus in the technology department also. Audi's are now very reliable so the argument for buying an underpowered $50k Lexus with yesterday's technology because it's reliable is starting to not hold water any more. I have a 2013 A5 (purchased new) that's never been back to the dealer for anything other than oil changes and tire rotations.

I may buy another Lexus but the Audi A4 at the same price point is going to get a long hard look when the time comes.

The S3 on the other hand was a blast to drive...seriously considered it but went back to Lexus.

Is there a thread for the next gen ISF? I wanted to ask before starting one. I want to know if anyone knows more information about this since I haven't heard anything. I've been looking for an ISF for over a month, and I'm just about to give up.

I don't believe there are any plans for another IS F.
