Heres an image of the current IS we have here, the IS250

Mmm, mmm, mmm... Scrum-didily-umtious.

And then theres the new beasty IS-F come... Hoo boy this thing is... Uhh... Well.....

It kinda looks like a sperm whale

by **2LTR Rona** » Fri Mar 30, 2007 5:02 pm

ummm yeah

by **Mr Revhead** » Fri Mar 30, 2007 5:05 pm

apart from the vents in the guards... its virtually the same
funny that, as its is the same car with a different engine......

by **2LTR Rona** » Fri Mar 30, 2007 5:07 pm

must be the way they have taken that photo or the lens they have used, cause if they are the same, then that bottom one looks wack

by **malc** » Fri Mar 30, 2007 5:12 pm

has the bonnet height been raised, maybe to accomodate the different engine?
might be what adds to the bulbous front end.
Also I think that the quad exhaust pipes on the same car are done badly and look like garbage.

nah the bottom pic is just shot from a lower angle so the bulge in the bonnet is more pronounced

I agree. Now they look like every other post-2001 sedan. Bland and boring.

Thirded, they look like a half sucked cough lozenge. Like most contemporary sedans.

that thing looks stuanch as $&#$%. Niiice.

by **malc** » Fri Mar 30, 2007 7:03 pm

hmm, definately the bonnet that is the bad bit
look at the height on that puppy!

original looks better, just add the big wheels and the front bumper maybe and then it would be cooler.

my thoughts

by **Mr Revhead** » Fri Mar 30, 2007 11:27 pm

nice, guess they had to do that coz the 8 is longer.
looks kinda mustangish, and thats never a bad thing

by **SkylineObsession** » Sat Mar 31, 2007 11:09 am

Edit: Crap, wrong post.

Um... that car just looks heavy due to the wheels being so (seemingly) far down the body of the car (or so much body being above them).

BMW 3 Series vs IS250.......

the only part i dont like is where the rear door meets the rear gaurd, looks kinda toy car-ish, just my thoughts.

Whats the deal with the is-f i think ive missed something

by **rolla_fxgt** » Sat Mar 31, 2007 2:03 pm

I think they had to raise the bonnet to fit the engine in, i remember reading it in the release details somewhere. The V8 is a talller engine so i guess it makes sense if you cant lower it in anyway. The raw version done by millen in the states that got them thinking about this car was much better, i think it was on an episode of rides. It was nicer looking, but i guess that beasty had a whole heap of expensive trick parts in it to fit the engine lower without raising the hood height. It looked just like an is250/350

Hmm, it looks suspiciously like the Aurion V6 that Toyota Australia is touting as the Camry replacement. Seems like Toyota is trying to make a generic, one size fits all, bodystyle :roll:
