Come on everyone, no posts, check out the link below, surely this is an indication of how this beast will be.

I've just shown this link to a few of my work collegues and friends and surprise surprise a BMW M3 owner and an Audi RS4 owner have both said before they were not to bothered and they doubted the looks (especially the rear exhausts and side grill behind the front wheels) but after having seen it in action they now say it "looks like a beast" and "ceratinlly a different but a good different" and in terms of performance. yes we all except it's just burn out's but a professional eye will tell you this is going to be something very, very special.

Both of my collegues went onto say "there seems to some serious power in those rear wheels"

I've said it before and i'll say it again. There are still some naive "fools" who are letting there pride get in the way and say "oh yes but it's a Toyota" I say NO! Lexus are a dedicated brand and isolated but I don't want to go into that if anybody is still saying a A Lexus is just a Toyota is just not worth the time ( is a Audi a VW, is Lamborghini a Audi or a Ferrari a Fiat) and I suspect is hurt because a Manufacturer came along and disturbed the domininace of BMW and Mercedes and now some 18 years later they have overtaken them both, fact! just look at the JD Power Survey awards, and my friends I can tell you, I know of 4 Bentley owners who are swaping their Bentley's for the LS 460L AND 600h. Who would have thought.

Anyway, just as Lexus did back in 1989 they are now going to do the same with the F Division, the IS-F = your comments and opinions are most welcome get posting, remember try and be neutral and give your honest views.

yes agreed that looks phat!but i really dont think its a smart idea however to compare Lexus power to mercedes power,yes M power can be matched,but an AMG merc is untouchable,most knock out 500/600hp plus with approx the same figure in torque.take the ML AMG jeep, that can blow away an M6/M5,its a jeep and it murders the best car BMW produce.dont mistake power with ludicrous power.

Around the 50k mark, give or take.

I hear Lexus believe they can price this at least 2k above it's nearest rivals as Lexus models now are holding their value better than most.

bum! :tsktsk: that's me out of the running then. i thought i'd read they were going to undercut the new M3 by £10k or so, but obviously not...
