Truth be told, Toyota didn't even mention whether this engine has VVT-iE. I think a lot of things are still being kept secret up until the last minute, which leads me to believe the IS-F and it's motor will surprise us yet.

Video review by Autobytel.com. It features the IS-F in motion during the photo session for the press photos and upcoming commercial.

From some angles, that hood looks a little strange to me.... Stuffing a V8 in there caused for an oversized hood that messes up the flow of the front end.

BUT...I'll take it!

I am so proud that Lexus finally decided to jump in with the big dogs! I have to say, that F moniker looks kind of silly to me too. But again, I'll take it. Can't wait for it to hit the streets.

Lexus is so close...now all they need to do is work on that manual transmission...

I can't WAIT for the GS-F.
