IS-F next to an IS250 comparison image

Today I parked to get some food on the way home. I saw an IS250 in black so I ended up parking in front of it since the restaurant was across the street. I took a photo because it helped me visualize some of the differences. In person it looked better. Black IS-F and black IS250. If anyone wants the full size image just let me know.

Well both cars looked great. The IS250 was nice and shiny as well. It was just less pronounced in certain areas. But this was the first time I saw a side to side comparison. It looked really pretty at a certain angle with the sun shining on both vehicles. The IS-F was more filled out. I think if the IS250 had the same wheels (with correct offsets) it would look pretty aggressive as well.

Looks like the only thing bigger on IS250/350 are the side mirrors.

Here's a side by side IS350 with an IS-F back at Toyotafest 2007 last year...

Here are some pics I took of the IS-F including some rare comparison shots with the Lexus IS350 Pace Car. I did not focus on the interior this time around. I will take more interior shots on my next encounter with the car. Enjoy!
