Road & Track - June 2008 - RS4/M3/ISF/C63
Good reviews, however look at how close the points are on the results page. Also notice the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. The RS4 and M3 did not get into the 12 second range on the 1/4 mile. For some reason I thought the 3 German cars were all supposed to be more expensive than the ISF.

I think the "F" on the IS-F stands for "Flagship One" which is a tribute to the original prototype vehicle for the Lexus brand over 20 years ago. Hence, the IS-F. The current IS is fortunate to use the "F" badging. I did find out that the motor was borrowed from their LS 600h and tweaked for the IS-F. Like you guys didn't know that already right?
I like this video from Youtube from a professional race car driver. It's not an ameatur test which makes the video fun to watch. It goes through a series of tests with each of these super cars to see who comes out at top. The only bad thing I hear about the IS-F is the understeer. That's about it. Oh, and the stupid stacked tips also. Looks only.

But I think it's a pretty good review of the IS-F and what it's capable of when going against another competitor.
Here's a good video on the difference with VDIM on and off (towards the middle of the clip):

This one is kind of funny, but great review of the IS-F from a British professional:

This guy is old, but he lives for speed!!! He pulls some pretty good moves. Overall, the 2008 Lexus IS-F is super fun to drive, greater control, and lots of raw power through all range of gears. Plus, notice the sound!!! The V8 sounds uber aggressive. Clear winner. But I still like the M3 though, I think.

Interesting article comparing the IS-F to the Nissan GT-R. Might be a repost, if so, please remove

From a mothers perspective. Rather funny, but they missed a lot with regards to child seats and accessibility as they would normally rate on other cars.

PS... and no I do NOT typically peruse this site, but one of my female co-workers felt the need to pass this on.

The November 2008 Motor Trend has a long-term test update for the IS-F. It's short but to sum it up "The IS-F is 'class thats bad-***'"
Enjoy
