Confirmed. Here in Oz we get ripped off hard. Base M3s and C63s are about 30K more than the ISF list price. I noticed that in the US it's about the same price.

I have mentioned in other threads that manufacturers will make monetary concessions to have their "brand" presence stronger in certain markets. To this day, I believe the "F" is not meant to be a highly profitable car for Lexus. They want it out there to drive sales across their offerings.

The LFA is approximately a $1 million per car investment for Lexus.

Dexterr: Yes if that is nebula grey than 100% sure. I'm actually headed to the dealership on thursday so I can snap some pics with my new iPhone! I had a Droid and the camera sux big time, this new iPhone is amazing

Hey are there any differences between 2011 and 2012?

Is 2012 the last year before they move to a different platform and new engine?

I love this paint colour with the 2012 wheels, leather could be red or the white.

Mmm maybe later next year.

Cool! Look forward to the pics.

As far as I know, I don't think there are any difference with the '11/'12 models...only the color options. And as far as last production, I think 2013 is more like it.

On a side note: are you going to BOS8 this weekend?

^Awesome - I seriously dunno if I will get back into an IS-F in this model style. I love the updates but they not enough to justify buying another one with the gripes I had about my past one (size being the biggy!)

Hopefully in the future IS-F platform Lexus will address the size short-comings and add a 5th seat.

I absolutely love the Porsche Panarema for it's practical side (hatchback folding seats to hold large paintings) but dislike the 4-seater arrangement. For those parents of two kids you will understand since we need at least one adult to fit next to two baby seats sometimes.

Sorry to go off-topic!

Yes I will be at BOS though I may not even drive the CT now, we had a flat tire yesterday so it's sitting on the spare nobby right now

I personally hope they don't make it any larger and would rather see them make a GS-F for what you are wanting with the exception of the rear middle seat I am indifferent on that.

On another note I love the Nebula Grey it is gorgeous.

Yup, I saw the exact same Nebula Grey / Red Interior IS-F at Magnussen Lexus last week! Within this month, I sold my S2000 to Autowest Honda and IS250 to Magnussen Lexus. It was time for a change and I had my heart set on an NSX (NA2) or a C63 AMG Coupe. The IS-F wasn't even on my radar since I already had an IS250 (same car, just much slower) and the 3IS is about to come out, but when I saw that color combo at Magnussen Lexus it really made me consider it, for about a day or two.

Wait how the hell do they justify a price tag like that? is it all taxes or something?

How much would a Nissan Skyline cost over there? or even a porsche Caynne Turbo?

This color combo (NGP with red) is my favorite. They had one in the showroom at Redwood City Lexus a few weeks ago. Stunning.

Hi guys,

What do you guys really think of the Nebula Grey? I've owned white IS250, current silve IS350, and possible getting an ISF and the one that's available now is NG with black interior. I personally think it's nice in person (don't hate it) but want to check and see what you guys really think of this color. I don't see that many people post picture of this color so maybe it's not as hot and possible affect resale?

i'm about 60 to 70% sure i'm gonna pick an IS-F this week and very likely be the Nebula Grey. Need some blind sight help!

Thanks,

David

Isn't Nebula Grey the same as Mercury Grey?

Here's mine I love the color and the interior is nice, the exterior is really nice especially at night
