Jeez.. no need to flame the IS350 Fsport guy. IMHO, I love the front of it, the back not so much. Too bad my car isn't due for service any time soon, otherwise I'd take one for a test drive. I would imagine the luxury has been vastly improved, but that's about it.

Will said it best, the ISF is a collectible car that is the co-marquee of Lexus. In 2014 I could imagine I'd see the F-sports all over the road.

Does the 3IS 350 pull like a freight train at triple digit speeds, doubtful? Forget the 350, unless next gen IS-F has +100 more horsepower then wait for that. Otherwise enjoy what you have.

When people see a 350, they think the higher performing version of the 250. When they see an F, they still don't know anything about it. Once you get WOT, then they know.
Enough said and very well said as to each their own but I read yesterday (some on CL probably already know this) that the ISF is gone after 2014...I am keeping my 2009

You jest, yes? Surely. My eyes are bleeding.

I don't care for the new styling having seen it at the dealership. Not my thing.

That's like trading in a Corvette Z06/ZR1 for the base coupe because you like the shifting **** better.

My coworker is leasing a 14 IS350 F Sport... yes, it looks like a nice car in the front, interior is fancier but the dash looks weird, gauge cluster and NAV interface and speakers are the only real highlight about this car. I park next to him all the time and thankful I own my ISF....
