HOLY ****!

it's trapping 114????!!! wow. it costs about 10k more than the ls3 c6 does, has extremely similar performance, and four doors with a nice *** interior...also looks pretty good imo. wow I want. what do you guys think?

 

Yea, I read about this last week in C&D. That car is going to be pretty amazing. And to think it only took them how many years to compete with the BMW M5?

 

The car is definately different. Parts of it really appeal to me, then some are kinda wierd. That 4-tip exhaust is a little odd, not sure if I like that one, but not near enough to turn me away. No manual though!! That in itself would keep me from buying that car. (This being said in the theory of me winning the lotto )

 

When I was at SEMA they had 10 of them there doing various testings. They were handling pretty damn well and they looked quick as ****. I like the styling of them for a sporty sedan.

 

yeah...did you see the "quarter mile runs" with the IS-f at sema? it sounded pretty healthy on the dyno...

 

definately under-rated like mad. its got a 5.0 in it, supposedly making only 400hp... a 3800 lb car with 400hp is not trapping 114...no way no how. i smell a new supra type toyota product.

 

I really like them. It'd be cool if they offered a manual, but i hear their auto (8sp, I think) is super responsive and holds gears, etc really well. When Lexus sets out to do something, they don't d!ck around IMO. I have a feeling their upcoming GT-F is gonna be one bad mother............

 

toyota in general doesn't **** around. i wouldn't be surprised if this car is just all around flat out better than all of its competition once its available. I'm waiting for the next supra...hopefully toyota does it eventually like nissan is bringing the gtr back.

 

^ I agree.A new Supra would be nice, too. That GT-F is gonna give the GT-R, 911 Turboand C6 Z06 fits I bet. The concept car is f#cking drop-dead gorgeous, too. One of the best looking cars to come out in a WHILE IMO.........

 

I love the IS-F. I've been considering an IS350 as the next daily driver, but if my budget allows I'd jump all over one of these.

How about the prototype LF-A? Will be over 500 hp, capable of 200+mph and I've heard word that it will be a hybrid??
