Haha Ignorant.....
Stole this form another site. Thats right! Stole!
I sure hope the -F- line opens some eyes. Other than that, at least we got realiability! And sexy interiors!
These are comments from a couple guys on the Jalopnik website posting comments in regards to the IS F

A lot of these tips about this long-rumored V8 IS always seem to come from the Lexus IS message board community. But I'm always completely baffled by the existance of an IS enthusiast community.
Like, were these people casual observers of the car industry and they became enthusiasts after buying their Lexus? Or were they always car enthusiasts that were unable to locate a BMW, Audi, or hell, even Infiniti dealership when they were ready to make their purchase? Or maybe they were lifelong ToyMoCo enthusiasts who held reliability and dealer service over handling and any kind of character. Really, I'm not trying to be an ***, I just wonder these things.

mccauller, I agree. Who would buy an IS when there are so many better options? Their interiors aren't even anything special. I guess the only kind of person that would buy one is someone who doesn't like German cars (how could you not like them?) and would rather take slick styling over performance in a Japanese car (Japanese performance = STi IMHO).

Let them talk...we will see how much talking will be done come mid to late 2007 when all of a sudden Lexus has a couple of big boy performance cars on the lot. Not to mention a super car right around the corner. Change is hard..and people don't like it..there are a lot of people threatened by change. They're used to seeing lexus as a ho-hum soft ride luxury brand, all of a sudden lexus is using the endless supply of toyota moco R&D funds to develop fast cars. People fear that their audis, bmw's, etc. will no longer be the creme de la creme. They fear that the brand that they're loyal to will see some fierce competition from vehicles that may possibly exceed their own vehicles. I am loyal to no brand, except Intel. Therefore I can honestly say that this is the root of all ishh talkers.

Wow, you managed to collect two of the dumbest posts I've ever seen! I'd love to respond, but I don't want to be associated with such incredible foolishness (and lack of spelling and grammar 
). Just don't try to make sense of it, because it's impossible to rationalize ignorance. DOH! I responded anyway!
