Looks like the IS300h F-Sport is the pick of the 3IS range.

Torquey, super-low emissions and low consumption. What's not to like?

If it drives as well as it looks, this may well be the car that breaks Europe open to Lexus as well as breaks the stranglehold of diesel over the European market.


PS :

For what it's worth, a GS300h would make a lot of sense and hugely increase Lexus' market share of the mid-size luxury market as it would greatly reduce price of entry as well as the fact that most buyers look more for low running costs/taxes and aren't looking for the extreme acceleration of a GS450h. Look at how many more 320d/520d are sold compared to 335d/535d in Europe.

The first guy called it "something special" and I agree with him.

not sure if you copied that from somewhere, but GS300h is coming for sure.
