^ Yeah, but I can't think of another car with a fake exhaust pipe.

think they missed the mark on this one. we all know toyota can do better than this... especially being their first f-branded car. here's to hoping good gets better. as for now, f is for fail.
Yeah, I like how so many people were saying how it would POUND the germans into the ground with its performance. I would dig up that old thread but I'm too lazy. With that being said, it is a great first effort. It really does everything well. ToYoMo is leagues above Honda when it comes to the aggressiveness of their Lexus Brand. It is more likely to be more reliable, so who cares right??

This car has only one problem, the M3, and it's a very big problem.

In a way, doesn't the S2K have a fake tailpipe? Its an inline 4..it doesn't need the second pipe.

The blue and the white are the best colors for the IS-F. It was one of the first cars I see in black that I did not like at all. Very impressive, that tranny is crazy sick.
