so after all it's not a "women's" car and blah blah blah.. even though it's e lexus i think it could be a competition to bmw'. particularly to 3 series. and ISF is pretty cool too even though m3 is rated better.

i had a chance to drive one IS (250 manual) and i must say the steering felt pretty tight and suspention handled good. it gave me a sporty feeling. i would still buy a bmw though

Nothing like the real deal! Lexus is always tagging along with BMW. Can't come up with their own designs so they copy BMW and Merc.

Actually if you watch Top Gear, and you really should, the ISF got stomped by the M3 in every aspect except 0-60. I have never been one to care about 0-60 or drag racing (seems like premature ejaculation to me, you blow your load in seconds?). What is way more important is handling and the ability to use all the power a car has - and in that test the M3 really shines far above the lexus. Besides, how many of us would really trade our E60's for a Lexus?

yes i whatched that episode. after all m3 is better balanced. it's not as stiff as ISF so you still have a lexury feeling at the same time it's better in the corners.

anyway i was just saying that they are not as bad and could be considered as competiotion otherwise they wouldn't even compare ISF to M3.
