I find those exhausts ridiculous.

Other than that, nice.

I really like it. After four M3's it's completely different. This feels more like a muscle car - heavier to drive and less nimble. It also attracts a lot more attention. Overall though I'm very happy with it.

First white one i've ever seen and now the only one im going to want.

That looks amazing, i personal like the different take on a quad exhaust system. Are all four tailpipes in use or are two of them dummy ones?

The actual exhaust finishes just behind the quad arrangement. However, exhaust does escape through the quads. Essentially, the quads are fake!

REALLY like that - definitely on the test drive list

Are the wheels anthracite? If so is that standard?

They are a polished anthracite colour. They're completely standard but obviously stand out more on a white car. I am getting them replaced as someone has cleaned them with a metal scourer and ruined them. It's back into Lexus in the week to have it sorted.

If you ever desire some nice pictures of it, i'd be happy to take some - i've never seen a white IS-F before and it looks amazing!!

Take a look at the PH road tests i've done in my profile - i did the photos myself - if you like them them gimme a shout...

Thanks for the offer, but I'm not really into photos. As ever when I get a new car, I took a few shots on my phone (I don't even own a camera) but in a few weeks, it'll just be another car on the drive.
I appreciate the offer though.

Hi Chris, good choice !

Last year i told my brother-in-law about these IS-F's before you could buy one. He had to wait about 4 months for delivery & picked up a dark grey one summer last year, brand new. It replaced a 56 plate Audi RS4 avant V8, my sister said the RS4 was to bumpy so it had to go. He is much happier with the ISF & says its a great car & says it even feels it has more grunt than the RS4.

Cheers Simon.
