I never said I hate IS-F...to be honest I don't really mind a big engine...all i did was show some facts with proof from magazine 
In all honesty, I was gonna get is-f because it's more discreet...but since my friend beat me to it...i got c63...but i'm really happy with my car and i love it to death

nice car, I briefly considered an IS-F when I started shopping for a new sedan, but from my subjective opinion I wasn't entirely sold on the bulbous front hood and faux quad exhaust setup.
I'm probably in the minority when I say I would've much rather they kept the IS-F much closer in appearance to the IS350 than its current appearance. As it stands the IS-F looks decent in black or the darker colors but for myself I really question the angle the hood makes coming up from the headlights toward the windshield.

Looking for a new toy.
Not a bad first attempt at a serious sports sedan, but it's just...ummm....well, ugly. Would not consider one buying one myself, just MHO.

it's all personal preference. i like all three styling, but at the same time...they aren't that great looking.

IMO, it is quite a car, but i think all the body pieces do look like they just bolted them on to make the car look different from the is250, they dont seem to flow on the body, then the cheesy exhaust is well, just cheesy, nice attempt Toyota but no cigar.

as far as the Fake Tips go, i take it you guys have not looked at a Gallardo, or even Lorinser kits on a lot of Mercedes. the tips are glued to the bumper.
Id take a 63 over the M3 or ISf, but for the price of a C63 new, i would take a used CL65!!

IS or C
I had an IS350 and loved the service at the dealer so went and checked out the IS-F. They had a dyno day for their employee and the manager let me sits in and do dyno runs. Great fun. That gear box is nice. However, I was not sold on the look of the exterior and interior.
A few weeks later, I went to my MB dealer to pick up an SUV for work and saw a c-63 in the show room. The fleet manager knows me so he grabbed the key and started the engine. He then told me to tap on the gas After hearing the thing rev and looking at the car, I am sold. This will be my next car whee the lease on the SLK is over.
While the IS will probably last longer and be a better value, the c-63 is just sounds meaner, better looking and stir your emotion like nothing else.
I don't think Is-F are selling that well. My lexus dealer keep sending my quotes for them with about 2 to 3 k off of MSRP.
