Default Another Swan Song ISF Review

It's funny to me how at the end of it's life cycle there are so many positive new reviews about the ISF floating around.

I liked this review and find that the author does a great job of identifing the emotion and technology behind the ISF's meaning.

I see all this news about the ISF going away but on the latest issue of motor trend, it says that they have confirmed there will be another IS-F. It's on page 24 if anyone wants to see it.

Thats very very cool. I love that idea.

By the way this article was written by Dan Neil ,like the last one in WSJ. He must be a huge fan. Either way its a great article and I am in love with my F!

I posted this when in was written back in May, saved it as a PDF, so you guys could put it on your wall. Also it contained a couple of typos that I fixed.

OK I'm busted and apologies for the repost. I missed the original posting. But why is everyone all of a sudden so in love with the F. I have only found Motortrend and Motorweek to be somewhat unbiased in their reviews approach. I am still pissed years later over the Chris Harris of Drive (drive republic then) review.
