Default IS-F's more popular?

I must say I've seen more IS-F's in the last week than my previous 8 months of ownership. I may have seen five at the most on the roads over the spring, summer and early fall. Now, there are three other IS-Fs in my garage at work. This is a good number considering that the garage holds about 400 cars. That works out to a 1:100 ratio.

I know one of the other owners and she said that she got her car after seeing my car. She said that it was "cute" (Trust me, I rolled my eyes at that statement). She had driven BMW's all her life and this was the first Lexus that convinced her that it was time to change.

I look forward to meeting the other owners and seeing even more F's on the road!!

In Atlanta I have seen multiple IS-Fs and C63s. The IS-F was the first one I've seen out the trio back early last year.

Oddly, I've yet to see a new M3 driving around......

I bet they all liked your F and went out to buy one

I've only seen 4, two in Dallas and two in Austin, not one of them gave a wave or anything

I haven't spotted another IS-F in my area at all (or M3 or C63 for that matter). At my 1K mile service the SA told me that another local guy had one in matador red but traded it for an LS due to the speeding tickets.

I remember when I ran into my first IS F owner. I pulled up next to her and looked over to wave. She turned out to be a Chinese woman in her 50s who never looked over and looked kinda clueless driving her F.

I agree, I have seen more in the past month all with temp plates. I guess that says the price to demand ratio has given more people what they wanted. Good to see the car selling so they can justify the r an D!!
