....... Just heading down the M1 over the Tinsley viaduct and overtook a car transporter fully loaded with these little babies....................
Lexus IS-F....... Boy did it make me wish we still had the IS!!!!! At the rate Lexus Sheffield offered us test drives while we did have the IS, i'd have been down for a test in one of these babies for sure!!!!!
And while i'm reminiscing..... One of the old girl herself............
Cheers
Dave.

Still not convinced whether I like the IS-F yet or not.
The quad exhausts are a bit fussy, and the 8-speed gearbox sounds gimmicky although it apparently works well.
Only 150 to be imported each year to the UK though, so it'll no doubt be a damn sight rarer than a BMW M3. But were I in the privileged position to be spending £50'000 on a car like that, it'd be the Merc C63 AMG for me.

i like the look of it! not keen on the quad exhaust tips though!
Auto Express did a group test a couple of weeks ago invloving the IS-F, the RS4, the C63 AMG and the M3. They enjoyed the car but it still came behind the other three!

Like the look of it, saw if reviewed on 5th gear and the gearbox and the beeps annoyed the hell out of Tiff.
