Maybe the IS-F is nice , but a regular lexus liek LS or ES or GS i so hate it , i send cars to Russia , and i drove all of them they drive like Lincoln so soft it makes you want to throw up , Benz is stiff but when it hits a bump it feels nice that's what i like about benz that it chatches bumps realy soft and you just want to drive on bumps all day long but lexus is just soft soft soft like a boat i can't stand it

This is a funny thread, at least you never see a Lexus taxi, whereas parts of Europe you see E and S class taxis everywhere, they are super common and nothing special.

you can get a decent loaded M3 for 65k and ***** out loaded for like 69k
I believe a sedan decently equipped is 3K less. Even better.

The sedan is a good deal but you have to live with those ugly tail lights.

Of all the many sites I'm on, this one, by far is the staunchest for Lexus-hate. A car as cool as the ISF comes along and you all still spew hate. It's so rediculous it's funny. Yes, I have to laugh at such singleminded hate. All it really means is that Lexus must be doing something right to receive this much of an emotional response.

It hardly matters. This site is glacial compared with most others.

Lexus IS 350 owner btw

The Lexus would make a good purchase at 2-3 years old for someone wanting reliability and perhaps slightly less costly servicing? In the UK they are only going to sell 500 per year I think so it will be pretty rare. Knowing the UK though it will be more likely over £40k or about $80k

The gearshift on it looks like the one in my C43 though, so it looks a bit outdated inside. The dash is fine though.

If I were offered either C63 or IS-F new I would definitely take the C63, but with a 2 to 3 year old car I think I might go the other way. Mind you my C43 is in the garage at the moment with a blown transmission so maybe I am being seduced by the grass being greener syndrome

Regards
Andy

Are they planning on a rebate program to reimburse the customer for driving one of the ugliest cars ever designed? I'm not a lexus-hater, but I think they're WAY off with the styling on this car. The rear wheel wells make the front tires appear larger than the rears, and oh my god what an awful front end. Makes Chris Bangle look like Gianni Versace.
