Anyone would think you had a Lexus what with all the :Plug:.

I think that looks a bit shit TBH, they would have been better leaving it looking more standard as the vents on the wings and the god awful stacked oval tale pipes just look OTT tacky.

Oh, and it's slower than an M3 to 60 but then that's probably because it takes 3 gear changes to get there with it's totally pointless 8 speed 'box. Pretty certain it will get annihilated by an M3 on the handling front as well. :nod:

Looks errrr well "lardy business man with splitters and vents" and I bet it weighs more than an M3. :D

Feck off the lot of you:mad:

Just because I've got a car that I'm very happy with an I don't feel the need to mod it to the hilt to make it faster and faster and more and more drifty:ghey:

I thought you guys might like to see the IS-F this being a Jap car forum.

We also like nice looking cars though, and the LS-F isn't IMO. The standard car is quite a classy looking car and I really do like it, but that just looks nasty with the unnecessary "pumped" styling. They should have made it more of a Q car. :nod:

No, I'm sure I read somewhere that he had an LS400.....

Personally I don't like the IS, and I'm not sure who the IS-F is aimed at. I would expect people wanting a M3 will buy a M3. And people wanting a Lexus with a V8 will buy a LS460.

why are all new cars crap at the side view, theyre all door and not enough class. Wont be long before side windows are just little slits in the side of the car.

Front looks mean but ide colourcode that tacky grill, oh and chop off a pair of exhaust pipes at the rear. Or give the entire back box to a saxo owner :D

EDIT: LOL just seen the secret white writing now that i've quoted you.

I'm gonna go play street fighter 2 as i swear there was a special stage on it where you had to beat the shit out of one in 60 seconds till the wheels fell off! :p was the easiest bit of the hole game as the car couldn't hit back :wack:

Christ on a bike that's ugly - and the guy's presentation skills are awful, is he being fed that through a headset or something?
Exactly how does an 8 speed box do all that he's promising? surely the tyres still spin up at the same speed?! :wack:

Ugly and pointless.
Oh, and those exhausts? Pure chav mag :indiff: Hell, it's even in Saxo VTR blue...

Guess it might drive ok though :wack:

Luxus, Infiniti and Acura is all about :ghey: American marketing.

To try pull a fast one on the Americans to try hide the fact they aren't buying stars and stripes. They don't like stuff that isn't there own. That way the japs can sell americans Toyotas / Nissans / Hondas without them realising it :p
