Clarkson's secret crush: The IS-F
Other cars I’m looking forward to? The Abarth version of the Fiat 500, the Jag XF with the new V8, and quietly, because it’s a bit embarrassing, the Lexus IS-F. Theoretically, this stands no chance of being better than the BMW M3 or the Audi RS4, leave alone the gloriously insane Mercedes C 63.
And yet deep down inside, I have a sneaking suspicion it’ll marry the sheer blood-curdling, ear-bashing excitement of a rear-drive 5 litre V8 sports saloon with the sort of quality you normally find only in a mechanical heart. It’s good looking too, in a Wilmslow sort of way.

The next season comes around summer time according to finalgear.com. And I agree, i wonder what will he say about it. Hardly any Lexus was shown on Top Gear (only SC430 and LS460 was shown)

but the love is coming in i think, from the way they talked about the LS600hL and the small bit clarkson did on how much he liked the GS450h.

It's an image thing. Jeremy doesn't like BMWs either, even though he admits they are great to drive.
As an example, see his road test of the IS250.
