Default Whats this? A Toyota sedan with balls? The New Lexus IS-F



Well of course the only way it could have balls is with a 5L V8, but my god. Its the 1st time I have thought to my self, "that would be sweet to drive" from current Toyota product. Not only that, but Toyota is marketing the normally, mature Lexus brand by burning rubber and driving side ways, which I have no problem with.

So, heres the awesome video stuff for you tuner guys, since ya'll need something to be proud of these days. RWD, loads of power...

But Ill still take my loud, brash, and edgy CTS-V over this for 4-doors and high speeds

Wow! Me likey!

Its got a nice "animal bulk" design, like the Supra. Its large, but in an aggressive powerful kind of way!

I'd buy one if I had the money. Better not be "self parallel parking" or tiptronic/paddle shift...

It's paddle shifted...

Mum has the IS 350 and it's paddle shifted, but it's also very nice. Moves when it needs too..

Saw this at the Houston Auto Show. This is definitely a Lexus worth buying, best thing toyota has come out with since the Supra.

The current Lexus IS350 is the ONLY car that a company has come out with that is a competitor of the current 3-series. All the other companies are making a car that's equal to the last 3-series version.

8 Speed? Jesus.

Who ever said you needed the clutch to shift?

8 speeds though? Thats stupid... or this car just has the worlds shortest powerband to need 8 gears. Kinda useless otherwise, even for fuel economy. Oh well.

IMO, its just more weight... I was pretty impressed with Toyota's 7-speed auto, but 8-speed? I'd stick to my good 'ole 5-speed, thanks. 6-speed is also fine.

Its nice though that the paddle shifter has throttle blips when down shifting, but it'll make bigshots out of those guys who can't heel-toe on a regular stick.

Auto is better for drag anyway. All the serious drag supras use an auto tranny. Auto supras rule the drag strip compared to manual supras.

Still the traditional manual car is a blast to drive.

any auto car rules on the drag because they're boosted, there's virtually no turbo lag at all, which means the engine is running at its max all the way down the strip.

i actually really like this car, be neat to see what kind of numbers a tuner could get out of it

I agree... Until someone bastardizes a 2JZ-GTE into it...

What it more comes down to is an Autos ability to be 100% consistent, faster shifting, and allow for brake boosting a turbo car off the line as well.

Whats the Ferrari Enzo do it at now? .020 of a second or something?
