My neighbours got an is250 coupe, it's a much nicer shape, will they do an isf with that body too?

Sounds like an AMG unit on steroids.
I suppose you might even say it sounds like a Brabus? wink

Not a great looking car imo, but then it's not meant to be (in this guise at least - the normal version is much nicer) but it still has those stupid, overly fussy fake exhaust tips. How much time and effort would it have taken to weld them onto the backbox? Too much for Lexus, it seems.

Read this article on my phone this morning. Have always had a thing for the IS-f, the way its the underdog and so understated. Can stop thinking about it. WANT WANT WANT. (Although, this one isnt so understated)

Looking at it again, it so looks like an after thought and they went out to their nearest Argos and glued it on!

Its a nice looking car but I think it suffers more from the oversized ass syndrome than nearly any other CC. The only ones worse are the Ford and the Volvo.

I am guessing it is going to be priced similar to the M3 GTS?

It isn't very 'Lexus' is it?

I don't think I've seen an IS-F in the flesh - have they sold many in the UK?
