Just got back from Lexus of bellevue after test driving an IS-F. My mom loved the car to death. As did I. The V8's rumble and the shifting was amazing. I loved how roomy the car was for a sports sedan, and I also loved the exhaust note. They have a good deal going on and my Dad really likes the car too so hopefully i'll be able to get some pics for you guys when it's in the driveway!

And I hope they let me drive it haha

 

Glad to hear you and your family liked the F! What color was it?

 

Silver. She's still torn on what color. It's between silver blue and red. The silver and blue are the only ones there so the red would have to be searched for. The silver is also an 08 while the blue is 09. I think she'll take the silver due to pricing.

 

Nice.. my parents love the car too. My mom rode in the back for a decent length of time and she said the seats were very comfortable and the ride is good. Considering that she drives a Jaguar XJ, I took that as a complement. he he. But I did scare her a bit when I punched it to get on the freeway. She said she started to feel a bit nauseous for those few seconds... ha ha.

 

Haha yea i think it'll be funny seeing a 50 year old mom in such a sporty car like the IS-F. She's coming from an XC90 so it's a bit of a change if she does get it. Going to test drive it again with the father today! Can't wait

 

Congrats, BHB....I'm partial to silver too but would take the red and even the blue....this car looks nice in 'em all.....
Post up when she arrives.
C.

 

My 60'ish parents love it too....even Dad who's been a diehard BMW guy and loves the M3...lol. Mom was also a bit white knuckled when I opened it up on the highway.

As a side note, my 75 lb puppy hates the F. I think it's cuz when I WOT she thinks it's a bigger dog growling at her and she get's scared....lmao.

 

You mean the F's not a bigger dog????? So far, it's the biggest dog Lexus has let out of the kennel...

 

Well signed the papers last night and taking it home today

Will post pics in a bit.

 

post some pics when the car is in the driveway.
