Its .5 sec slower +/- so I don't really see how it can't get out if it's own way?.. Maybe you're thinking of the 250.

My GS does 0-60 in the same time as an IS. That's not so good.

I was seriously considering a 2014 IS350 brand new. Wound up buying a 2012 ISF for about the same price.

It really is a personal choice. Both cars are great for daily driving. In my case I "needed" the extra horses

Lol a fake? I think it's just competitive. Guess my GS F Sport will be a fake when the GS F comes out. Even though mine existed first. Every other brand offers a sport package, it's not a fake.
