"As another perspective, my girlfriend wasn't that impressed with it either. She normally likes performance cars but, in her own words, said that the IS-F felt 'angry' and 'upset', the way it bounced over every bump and threw her back in the seat when it accelerated. The loud engine noise also didn't go down too well with her."

MY KIND OF CAR

 

Brembo brakes, 400+ hp motor, race tuned suspension, 8 speed quick shifting trans, and the only thing people are talking about are the #$%^&*! TIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Coming from Top Gear-very complimentary article. This car is getting a lot of xlnt press.

 

The IS-F has the performance credentials but Lexus went and overdid it with goofy cosmetic changes. I don't see any M3 shopper buying one (especially with Lexus' take it or leave it attitude) but it's great to see Lexus stepping up and is hopefully the beginning of them making a real attack on more German (A, B, M) turf.

 

No one can legitimately say Lexus cant build a performance car anymore. So some have to find something to nitpick at right??

Personally I like how in your face it is. Bright colors, out of the ordinary exhaust setup, bulges and flairs everywhere. Its everything a Lexus is not supposed to be, and thats what draws me to it.

 

tell me about it, i didn't even pay attention to the tips until people brought them up left and right. even worse is when people bring up the wrong info
