i walk in to the lexus dealer here in manhattan.. i saw the is-f i the window so i just walked in to take a look... long story short .. i cant belive how this car is.. i drove this thing and all i can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!... its alot cheaper then the bimmer.. the only thing thats killing me is the handeling part.. feels like the rear wants to just slid out from under me.. i took on the west side and gave it a spanking.. at about 80 the sales guy was getting worried i saw it in his face.. as i got to about 100 110 he must of riped the lether seats on the passenger side... but in all really nice car.. fast.. good looking.. but not a bimmer.. but i am looking in to this car... just wana get some feed back on this car and what some you guys think... thanks

but??? Lexus vs BMW is no comparison. Lexus, IMO, is always copying other luxury car makers (especially M, and it is a glorified Toyota. BMW IS the ultimate driving machine. 'Nuff Said.

The IS-F is sick...but honestly..having had a lexus is300 (which I know is not an is-f)..It is just very different. Im so happy I went with BMW. It feels like a luxury car should feel. Have fun on www.is.net jk. I want to drive an IS-F really bad.

listen to me. go to your bmw dealer and drive a M3 E90/E92/E93 what ever you want and then you will forget about the IS-F.

Simple - If you can afford a bimmer then go for it. If you want the best bang for your buck then the ISF is also a good choice IMHO.

If you are more price sensitive - how about the new G37 ? Those things are pretty slick

A E90 with the brand new Performace package...
