Default i test drove the F last nite :)

it was so sweet a ride, i must say !!

at lower rpm, it drives so smoothly like any lexus....and when you step on it..oh lord.....


i was so very ready to pull the trigger last nite, but my friend told me to wait for another month or two for the price to drop down.......


also, my other friend, who came along with me last nite, told me that ISF is simply a souped up camry TRD......

what do you all think? should i pull the trigger tonite? heheh

i suppose due to the slow economy, dealers are getting desperate day by day. i have been receiving phone calls from them like every other day. then, last nite, i decided to drop by and check it out. i thought it never hurt to ask, so i asked them for a test drive. the manager, simply handed me the key and said let's go.

F is the BEST car i have seen so far in this segment. beats the stupid ultra unreliable AMG and hyper sensitive M coming from E46 and E36 M3, i have to say, F is the most balanced car. though i still love my E36 more than E46M. F is the best for both daily and more spirited drive

i am hopelessly in love with F....i don't know, i might just walk in and do it any time

I say wait if you can. The economy is headed into rescession, with a posiblity of stagflation. I think you will be able to save a few thousands if you hold out. Trust me I know how hard it is to wait, heck I started saving for this car last July and still have another 12 - 14 months to go yet

Too bad the IS-F has finished last in most comparison tests to the "stupid unreliable AMG and hyper sensitive M."

Good luck if you decide to pull the trigger. If you can wait, I bet you can get a substantial discount by the end of summer.

Oh come on. Everyone knows they just slap on the +2 cylinder TRD kit to the Camry, add a few fake exhaust tips (with chrome) and rebadge it as the IS F.
