I think what it really boils down to is car guys vs car buyers. I knew what an ISF was before Lexus even released it, because I have always been and always will be a car guy.

I dont know everything nor do I assume to, but I take the time to do the research and learn about what's out there.

What everybody needs to realize is that car manufacturers are businesses and businesses are for-profit entities. Yes, they get a trickle down effect from true F models, but (I'm guessing) they get even more by having a slightly sporty version of the regular model as witnessed in F Sport, M Sport, V Sport, S Line and Mercedes models that have AMG "after" the model designation...i.e. C450 AMG (of which I am a huge fan).

I completely agree that the F Sport is annoying, but if it possibly creates enough following for more future "real" F models, then I'm all for the fake Fs.

BMW does it, Benz does it, and so does Caddy .


I propose that we all intentionally look for and dust the F sport guys one at a time to teach them. These people need to be schooled and Lexus isnt going to do it.

I8AMR..........Taking the F sport guys to REAL F school one race at a time . .........and try and put money on it.lol They are so clueless out there you could make some real money LOL. " Hey bro you want to race your new ISF against my last generation one.....Im bone stock..." . You drive away with a $100 and he is scratching his head

Lexus did only minor changes to differentiate. The F-sport has a WHITE background on the F so you can see it apart from the real cars. If it has a white background on the F it's not real.

One thing I'm glad they didn't do is take the tacky route and slap the logo ALL OVER the car like BMW. I hate to spoil the ending, but the 2015 M3 has 67 M logos on the car!
