Interesting news on IS-F, GS-F and LS-F that right I said LS-F.

100k+ My guess anyway. The M6 Grancoupe is around 116k if I remember correctly.
Personally I'm more hoping that the LF-LC finally makes it to production. I want a sports car to go with the ISF. Don't need another grand-tourer.

[QUOTE=melbitoast;8513393]Exactly. Tuned exhaust that you cannot hear. Upgraded suspension that will never be tested or used properly. And the same engine. What's the point? Besides being better looking than the standard model (at least IMO), I just don't get the enticement to the F-Sport models. Maybe that's because I know what the real F is; therefore, my perception is very skewed.
In Defense of Is F Sport particularly Is 350 F Sport upgrade suspension is in fact huge improvement over previous bolt on F Sport components I should know I had 08 Is350 with all F Sport bolt on parts and recently test drove Is350 F Sport night and day difference between two cars, it not just spring and shocks, it steering feel, it's chassis it much better handling car then previous model. What It Lacks is more POWER!!! Should Have Bumped Up Hp to between 340hp and 350hp. When I had my 350 I tracked it, raced on 1/4 mile and drove it aggressively just like my F. Don't assume just because it's F Sport there not going to drive it like IS-F. Different strokes for different folks that's all lm saying.

i sort of don't care that they might not build another ISF. unless it's something that performs way above the current model, i'll probably be moving onto bigger and better things. such as the GS-F. (assuming the GS-F has impressive performance to offer.) very exciting news nonetheless. i'm thinking my next car will either be the GS-F or the Eau Rouge Q50 w/ the GT-R muscle under the hood, if they in fact build it.

And I'm not saying F-Sport owners won't drive it like a real F. I'm saying the F-Sport isn't giving a real fighting chance against others in its category. I believe that directly makes the real F appear weaker. I'm with you; they should have given it more power. 350 would likely suffice for its class.

very cool to hear they are doing the LS-F. We all had our eyes on in back in the LS forum when I had my LS460. The F line makes me proud. Happy to be a member. The family is only getting better and better

IMO, the more brand recognition and gusto picked up by F-sports, the better. It's no different from any of the other manufacturers people here are constantly comparing ISF's to...it not only raises awareness of lexus planting its' flag in the performance sector, but it makes actual F owners even more elite (if that's your thing)
