I found these on the web. Enjoy!

I hope that as the great reviews come out that the US based magazines might learn something. Important to note, they compared the 2-door M3 to the 4-door IS-F, so it will be interesting to the 4-door vs 4-door reviews.

They list the IS-F having a 155 mph limited top speed. Do they do their research??? Unless the UK has a different spec.

very interesting review, I will take it as account because I am debating between these two cars to see which one I should get......

I love the term "vaguely practical". I have to start using that now.

It's a fantastic review for the IS-F. A real victory for Lexus on this one.


It'd be interesting if the UK-spec (or Euro-spec) IS-F is limited to 155. Benz, for one, limits many of its vehicles - including the AMGs - to 155.

You're right. It is an excellent review. By far the best, considering the source.

Nice Read...Thanks!

Wow this was an interesting read, especially given that this magazine traditionally does not like Lexus, and they give 5 Stars to the IS-F, wow.

That's why I liked it so much. They are a real enthusiast magazine as opposed to C&D or MT.. That's why their 5 stars mean so much..

Good review.

Quite a compliment from Euros...

I had to copy and paste this from a previous evo review (of the GS430) which shows what they've thought of Lexus in the past.

There's no doubting the new GS is a very good car, but for the enthusiast it's almost too good for its own good. All those electronics cloak the fundamentally excellent chassis dynamics under such an impenetrable safety net that I simply have no desire to drive the GS430 ever again.

It might save me if I'm about to have the big accident (we haven't mentioned the ten airbags, or 'pillows' in Lexus speak) but an owner will probably die of boredom before this ever arrives. Business as usual at Lexus then.

VERY IMPRESSED. Lexus has NEVER had a 5 star winner. That is usually reserved for exotics and high performance Germans.

EVO is VERY biased towards sport and cars for the driver, so it really shows the IS-F is the real deal.

What month was this? I haven't seen it.
