It seems a lot of comments are from uninformed people that have a biased against Japanese cars and more importantly the relationship that Lexus has to Toyota. I have had a BMW 335i convertible for the past four years and absolutely loved every minute.
My car was written off and I was in the market for a new car. After driving the M3, the S5, the RS5, the C63 and the ISF, it was the ISF that I was saddest when giving the keys back. Don’t get me wrong the others were all great cars and I had all of them for at least two days each but the ISF was the best car for day to day driving as well as hard driving and don’t get me started on that wonderful note that kicks in just before 4000 revs. I pick my new ISF up at lunch time today….can’t wait! And BTW every option was included in the price….by far best seats as well.

You cant knock a great car, the ISF is just that, I get tired of reading comments from people that somehow must seem to believe, that unless the car can perform like a rocket on rails, but feel like your lying under the summer pacific skys sipping on champane…then the car is not much chop. I would fall in love with either the m3 or the ISF, no doubts there, they are both extrodinary.

I Agree Shawn, I don`t like the style of this car either, because it has no style. There is no doubting they can build a good reliable car but they have absolutely no sense of style and seriously I can`t name one Lexus that is desirable. Seriously guys when was the last time you looked at a Lexus and went whoaaaa , yeah I`m guessing never.

The funny thing about all this is the assumption, that, one can afford an extra “10%” of a cars value, given that, what is $13,000 to someone who can afford $129,000?

10% of a cars price is huge (the difference between $129,000 and $143,000 – IS F, C63, respectively). Let me put this into perspective, a Kia Cerato (entry level) is about $20,000. 10% is quite obviously, $2,000 and so that brings us to $22,000. Do you have an idea how much a) $2,000 is and b) how hard you have to work to bargain a cars price by even an insignifican sounding figure of but 1% (or $200)?

If a car is in high demand (M3, C63 – IS F included), good luck getting anything off it, second hand ones sell for above RRP. This is where the IS F plays it’s major trump card, price. $13,000 is a huge saving for someone who’s going to be using this as a daily driver but want’s something more than a HSV Senator. Like has been said, there’s a good chance they’re leased anyway but do consider that, $13,000 is a substantial figure and that’s money that could be better spent elsewhere.

It’s just a Toyota in fancy clothes…I would go for an equivalent MERC or BMW anyday. And why would you spend $130,000 when for a little more you can get C63 AMG or a M3.

Also I never really liked the interior or exterior design of this car.
