Just recently, Lexus has started a new ad campaign on the new Lexus IS-F.

F could mean a lot things to many people. It could mean;

Fast
Future
First
Fun
Fleet
Fly
Female
Firm
French
Ford
Fire
F***ck
Friday


To me F means flagship. Top-of-the line, best of the best. Can't get better than this...

What does F mean to you seems like a loaded question. I'll go with a safe answer:

***Cues Artie Lange***

"Fiya!!!!!!"

What does "F" mean to you?
Five point zero = 5.0

IS F = IS 5.0L V8

It needs to mean Fast. Not just any fast, but hair raising, goosebump inducing, squeeze-you-into-your-seat-while-you-cling-for-dear-life-to-the-steering-wheel with-a-huge-grin-on-your-face FAST.... and that means round corners too, not just in a straight line.


The next campaign should be "What the F....?"
