That wont happen im afraid. Now that lexus is marketed in japan, there is no need to have a toyota variant. So no more altezzas,windoms etc.

But yes, very sexy car!!

Looks good

That's one hell of a nice car! Pity the pricetag'll be in excess of 100g!

Is it just me or does the front of it look like Augustus Gloop with bulging straight after scoffing a huge mouthful of chocolate? :D

Not exactly my kettle of fish but will no doubt be an awesome car to own/drive.
We know that four-wheel drive doesn't work in a racing car, and I proved to myself that it doesn't work very well for rallycross. I'm absolutely convinced that it has no future in rallying, either, even if the regulations allowed it. - Roger Clark (rallying legend), circa 1976

I saw a blue IS-F driving around the square in Palmy on saturday. Must be pre release testing? No pics :( Looked HAWT though.

http://www.lexus.com.au/model/isf/#/home - probably closest to our spec, they haven't finished the webpage yet though :lol:

The IS F's five-liter engine has an appetite for air that will not be denied, but can be controlled. A dual intake system provides smooth power at low-to-medium speeds then opens wide at elevated rpm for maximum power and torque. The resulting sound makes you hungry for more.

Tom Ford did an article for Top Gear Mag on it, and he said it was the bee's knees.

(He's the one who towed a 747 with a VW Toe-rag)
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

No "stance", no "hellaflush", none of that bullshit. Nothing but no grip on full boost.

Yea i think Clint may have his hands on one not too long ago.

A mint white one pulled up on a transporter outside work a couple of days ago, but the useless truck driver forgot to drop it off :lol:

VERY cool car!
