I noticed the IS-F in the trailer too. Interestingly, Autocar magazine are running an IS-F on long term test. Their initial back to back comparisons with the BMW M3 placed the BMW ahead, but the longer they've run the Lexus the more they are convinced it's the better car to live with day to day.

I have driven both recently and feel that the M3 handles better, but the lexus power delivery came in sooner in the power band. the beamer you had to wring . I still think the beamer looks a little better, but for the money I would get the ISF.

The BBC puts all of its programs on BBC iPlayer so you can watch them on the web - accessible from www.bbc.co.uk. However, due to licensing reasons i.e you lot don't pay for one! - you aren't supposed to be able to access it from ISPs outside the UK. Surely it's not beyond the brains on ClubLexus for someone to work out a way round this?

Well actually they love the IS-F. THey reviewed it against the C63, M3 and RS4 a few months ago in the mag. The final paragraph ended with the reviewer saying its pretty much a tie but he would take the IS-F.

Jeremy has also commented he can't wait to pit the IS-F vs M3.

Should be good!

About time they reviewed the IS-F on the show... I was disappointed when they left it out of the M3/C63/RS4 comparison.
