Default 2014 F-Sport

I think you should go for it.

We need as many people to buy the first year. That way when the new 2016 model year ISF comes out. Most of the recalls and bugs will have been worked out.

not a chance in hell, though if I could afford it a new 350 or even 250 would make a nice DD

No, the 2014 IS looks very ugly IMO. And it's crazy what they charge for that "F Sport" package which is basically just exterior stuff.

Are you nuts... you couldnt give one to me to give up my F. I would have a hard time making the Jump to next gen ISF.

I presume this is a joke.

In the event it is not, are you serious?

I saw the new IS up close yesterday. It was an F-sport, not an F. My honest impression was that the car will out sell the BMW 3 Series. I fail to see the comparison to the true F.

I walked away saying that if I traded for the next true F up the road it would be for a performance gain and not for the new styling. Others have told me that they are not thrilled with the new front on the ride.

Don't feed the troll guys...I don't think this was a serious question. If it was...the OP has issues. The IS F looks 100x better than the new one.

I think a much more reasonable question would have been, "how do you integrate the 14 IS cluster into the ISF"

Best of both worlds

3IS does not have the same transmission as the IS F...at least there's no confirmation that it's the same transmission.

Yes i was being serious. Some people like the new look and technology and some dont, i get that. If it was a 2014 isf or a gsf, i would of jump on it without needing to post this thread, but its a is350 fsport. Thats why im asking for their opinon but instead i get called a troll.
