Even the Neiman Marcus Special Edition IS-F is "only" $68 K, so a loaded regular IS-F should be several thousand dollars less than that.

My friend works at Lexus dealership.

Benz always put some ridiculously big engine to squeeze out crazy horsepower and torque, I don't like it. Yeah I am sure it is fast as hell but I still prefer the Japanese way, either make the engine to run at high rpm or add turbochargers. Anything bigger than 5.0L wouldn't interest me at all. 6.3L? NO THANKS.

An extra 1.3L in displacement doesn't weigh that much...
And they're putting in the effort to make it be able to take turns instead of burn tires and go straight.
