Should i trade in for a 2014 IS350 f-sport?
I need some input. For those that has a 2008 ISF, would you consider trading it in for the 2014 IS350 F-sport? I just love the new gauge cluster and the new styling.

I'm far more interested in the Fs engine than a new gauge cluster and new styling. I've spent some time, energy and money making this car mine. A new body style ISF would be nice, but a new IS350 F Sport - NOT A CHANCE I'd miss the power, handling and the panache. The ISF is a very special vehicle, IMHO And, few other cars measure up to it.

While the 350 F-sport is a great car in its own right, I'm spoiled with the IS F. It might not have the cool LFA inspired cluster, the spindle grille, new headlamp assembly, but it does still have such a powerful engine and that unknown factor that still intrigues people. 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.

Newer cars are always going to have updated electronics and amenities. But consider the overall functionality of the F versus the 3rd generation IS. There isn't much of a difference worth upgrading to in my opinion.... it's mainly aesthetics and fine tuning to stay competitive. I wouldn't want to lose all the power and driver confidence that comes built into the F's racing purposed drivetrain, chassis, suspension, brakes, and wheels just for a revised digital instrument cluster. Having said that, I really like the new styling of the IS and can't wait to see how it translates to the 2nd generation F.
