Another bad Lexus IS-F review

More expensive than both the M3 and C63 AMG - i have to agree with this reviewer

The fake exhaust tips do it for me. I give it a thumbsdown.

I significantly prefer the styling in my e92 M3.

No manual = crap

I was following a red e92 m3 in MT today. So, so sexy. Not as sexy as an E46 M3, though. :thumbsup:

I've never liked this car...even though I own an IS250.

E46 M3 coupe in Laguna Seca Blue......pure sex

Lame. I'd take an M3 or a chipped 335i over this every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Given that the IS-F and the CTS-V are both 4 door luxury cars at about the same price... lets see a comparison test

Lexus would be bringing a knife to a gunfight.

Fixed

 

[BlackTigers]

I think it's an ice looking car.

But WTF At those exhaust tips?

 

[Skunkwourk]

The Styling just doesn't do it for me.

I agree! And with the price difference I would take an IS350 all day long.

With those black wheels this it the kind of car a college dropout bought by saving up with his $11/hour job for two years, lives with his parents, and then another 6 months for the wheels so that when he is out somewhere people don't know what a total freaking loser he is.

That's what the styling says to me.

Hopefully that knife can fire its blade at someone ala The Punisher

The styling talks too much. It needs to shut its yap.

Beside the ISF and CTS-V are market at different audiences.

Someone would have to have serious mental issues to consider the IS-F over the CTS-V.

How so? They are both high performance versions of entry level sport sedans. They are priced similarly too. I guess you could call the CTS-V more of an M5 competitor, but comparing it to the ISF isn't crazy.

They're both ugly, but the CTS-V is GODDAMNED ugly. Badass motor, though.

Don't get me wrong... I absolutely love the styling of the e46 M3. I just like my car slightly better, as there's just something about a high revving V8...
