Does anyone know how the 2009 sales is running? I know I read that the F will continue for Lexus but I would guess that if sales drop below critical mass, and Toyota continue to bleed cash, then the F will be only a boutique label.

I believe Lexus stopped production on the 09 F for a while, is that correct or was that just a rumor? If that's the case, there are going to be a ton fewer 09's then originally expected

FACT:There were about 2,733 IS F's made for the USA.

FACT:All IS F's come off the one production line for every destination

FACT:The last 2008 IS F VIN for the US ended in 4828, with an August 6, 2008 build date.

FICTION: The last 4 digits of the VIN, 3600 was the last 2008 model year IS F.

How to decode the 17 digit VIN:

Digits 1 - 3: WMI = World Manufacturer Identifier
Digits 4-8: VDS = Vehicle Descriptor Section
Digit 9: Check Digit
Digit 10: MY (in case of USA)
Digit 11 - 17: Plant Serial Number (Digit 11: Plant Code)

Example (Pre Production 08 IS-F Starfire w/Alpine):



This concludes your IS F production lesson for today.
Bumping this for Joe Z.

Cool, thanks. I'm surprised that my serial number is as high as it is given it was in one of the first shipments to the states.

Nope.. not all....

Only the ones with the VIN numbers that start with "J"..


However, the entire IS line is built in Japan, in 2 different plants.

The IS-F is only built in one plant.
