I would love to have some for the next party I throw, b/c it's some POWERFUL stuff for these concepts to actually make it for approval.

Whats funny is the GT-R and next NSX talk has been going on for YEARS now and outta nowhere we have a IS-F that makes production.

I love the cars but how about shut the hell up with the press releases and just build the damn things.

p.s. No way, is a 500hp V10 gasoline engine getting 23 mpg combined..

Maybe highway....and in apretty light chassis at that

If It Is Not A Hybrid Powered Then It Is Pretty Much Not Possible To Be True

or well, you can if you want...

I think what he meant was amongst all the talk about the supercars, Lexus managed to divert our attention away and suddenly reveal the IS-F.

Japanese 10-15 cycle? wouldn't be surprised. The Prius in Japan's 10-15 cycle gets 83.5mpg US but yet when we test it, it's 60mpg city (well lower now under new EPA).
