Exclamation IS-F-Popular Mechanics "Tech Breakout Car"..Jan issue

They review many new autos and their tech features. The IS-F gets a full page and is declared their "Tech Breakout Car". p 34

The Lexus 8 speed is said to weigh 212 lbs!

Time to pick up popular mechanics. Thanks for posting.

212 lbs is insane! The 2GS 5 spd weighs 200 lbs.
