I was pretty stoked when they originally announced it, but a 4.5 0-60 is rough. I’d feel pretty meh if my (potentially) 65k dollar performance sports car got walked from a dig by pretty much any V8 domestic for almost half the price.

 

[Lin626]

Hopefully Lexus doesn't price it too high. I think $60k would be the sweet spot.

If this is just the F sport I wonder what the real ISF will be. Hope it gets produced and hope they shave weight off.

I really like this car and hope it sells well. I was considering an IS350 AWD as a do it all car, but the performance was lackluster on the test drive. I ended up going with a cheap daily while waiting for the new Z or similar

 

[BJM2021]

Although very different cars, I am considering the IS500 and the Z..

I'm not considering one of these, but love that they offer 2 different blue paint options without one being too light or dark. Both are beautiful!
