LS600hL for me. If I'm going to buy a compact or mid sized sports sedan, there are a lot of other cars I'd rather have than the IS-F. The LS; however, is among the best in its class IMHO.

I'm not sure I get this senario ... I'm in a cave? ... and I have to pick one of these two to get out? ... do I have to pay for it? ... did I fall into this cave while in my current car and I need to replace it? ... and if I cant just walk out of the cave, how am I going to drive my new Lexus out?

either way ... IS-F ... it fits me perfectly

An overwhelming amount of you picked LS600
Would it change if you were driving an LS430 right now?
Would anything change if no car was going to be traded in?
It sucks that the IS-F is a sedan and not a coupe, then this would be an easy pick.

LS hands down.

I'm not a fan of the IS's. I feel very cramped in them and I love leg room.

I body build and am 5'10 and 210 lbs, my shoulders do not fit in the IS's seats.

I am driving both the LS600hL and the Celsior (LS430, later model) at the moment and I will not change my oppinion.

Hey buddy
I just posted in your thread
You said you are looking at IS-F vs C63 though?
Are you going to keep the LS600, LS430 AND the IS-F/C63?

Yes the LS600hL is the family weekend car and the wife does not like to go shoping in the lexus as it is too big. And I won't let her drive the kids around in a car that I feel does not have enough protection, so I have the celsior(LS430) for her to ferry the kids around and go shopping, it is big enough and has all the safety features on it if it were to be crashed into.

The IS-F/ C63 will be a car to get me to work and back, I need something that looks like a normal car or else I will cop crap from the surrounding neigbours (Japan is funny like this, you can't do what you want or people will talk about you behind your back).
