Default excitement to have 3rd gen F-sports eat dust!

Well the 3rd generation IS is out and people are already confusing F-sport with true F.
Who here is excited to pull up next to a shiny new IS 250 or 350 F-sport and make sure
people don't get confused?

I hope they have a commercial like that old one with the yellow lfa but with an IS-F
weaving in and out and past the new generation F-sports..
you don't need to pay a professional driver..I'll do it for free.

Lexus needs to work on the "confusion"... I had a coworker come up to me asking me why my IS-F comes in a 250 variant also...

I don't think this has happened to me. When they see the exhaust tips/ hear my V8 scream, they know it's not a regular IS. But when people say "like OMG, i just saw an ISF".....i have to ask them at least three times "are you sure it was an ISF and not a F-sport"

There is also some of the folks that transformed their IS 2/350's to look like the F, I reckon this is why I have the Accords/Maxima's and Hyundai crowd harrassing me, thinking another easy kill is in the making.

I laugh when regular IS owners ask "where did you get that exhaust from? I want mine sound like that"

Ahhhh, this explains that guy in the 370Z yesterday on the way home. He sure seemed surprised when I walked away from him.

So far I have only had one person know what is it that I drive. I came out of the grocery store and saw this guy circling my car. He had the new IS350 parked two stalls over and started asking me a bunch of questions about it. I asked if he knew what the ISF was and he said he did, and that was what he really wanted, but not in his budget. I complimented him on his car and that was that. But, up until yesterday, no one has wanted to challenge because they either know what it F is, or they don't know and don't see it as something fast.
