    Like someone already noted:Amazingly biased review. They should put the disclaimer that this is a Lexus commercial at the beginning.

    well they focus more on the IS-F so I can see where you get that...but its still a better car all around. I mean for the BMW/Audi people, they simply can't believe a toyota is kickin there ass.lol

    and before I get flammed for being biased, I've owned bimmers as well, and I've always loved teh RS-4 and the S4. I've also been seriously considering getting an M3..It's just the numbers don't lie...IS-F>e90 m3>RS-4

    But there were no numbers. It wasn't a true comparison, just some guys driving around a track. I'll wait for some real comparisons.

    This is very Biased. I had such high hopes for the IS-F. But after couple reviews, lots of people were dissapointed:

    1. Fake Quad Muffler tips (doesn't even connect to the Mufflers)




    2. Dynoed barely couple HP more than the regular IS350.

    3. Ridiculously expensive than the current IS Line.

    4. Body style aren't a lot better than the current IS.

    For that money, I can get the current IS, fully customize it to look better, ahandle better, and a whole lot faster than the IS-F.

    1. Proven wrong, those pics are from a PRE-PRODUCTION model. The real IS is connected. (can't believe people ***** about that anyway, has anyone seen the $120,000 Audi R8 or $250,000 Lambo exhaust?)
    2. The car is MUCH quicker, even tested to be faster than them all but the C63.
    3. ALL THESE CARS ARE MORE EXPENSIVE than their current lineup. Did you know in EUROPE you can get a 4 cylinder 320 for $25,000. M3 is $65,000. Audi A4 starts under $30,000, RS4 is $75,000. So its not just the IS.
    4. I can feel you on that one!!!

    The real exhausts are fully functional and connected.

    1sicklex, the autospies photo shows the exact same thing as the previous picture. The Tips are fake, where i've circled in purple is clearly the edge of the bottom exhaust which is visible through the top 'tip'
