MT are the only people who said they would make 200, no one else has that Im aware of. Take it with a grain of salt. Why even bother making this car if theres only 200 for the US.
edit: Live stream said they are making 1600 a year. Just goes to show how informed MT is.

That comes to approx 133 units built per month for the Global Lexus Market... How many will make it to the USA..!!?? We shall see starting end of December 2015

A Ditto of the 1,600 WW Figure from Autoweek.

Lexus says that its performance-oriented models are key to attracting younger buyers to the brand. F Sport-equipped cars account for roughly one in four cars Lexus sells -- and nearly 50 percent of IS sedans sold -- a figure they claim surprised even them. Even so, the automaker doesn't expect to move many GS F sedans. With projected sales of around 1,600 cars per year, it's going to be a very niche vehicle. Sales begin in the final quarter of 2015.

Just curious if anyone else have seen these reports? Is there any truth to them at all? I dont know how reliable these sources are.

If another ISF was in the works it would of more likely debuted with the GSF. Either way, Toyota/Lexus here in States does not like their vehicles to directly compete with one another, which the GSF and ISF would. Highly doubt we will see another ISF, since both the RCF and GSF cover that area.

The first link you posted is over a year old.

And if the European guys do it, why can't Lexus? BMW has an M vehicle at every level now except the 7 series. Merc has AMGs at every level. Audi has several as well. So why wouldn't Lexus do it? Consumers like options.
And based on the previous discussions we've had and article tidbits found, I still think we will see another ISF in the 2018 model year.
