Put to rest any hope of an IS-F for this generation. It's far too along in age for them to add an all-new model, other than simple trim. An all-new IS is due in 2019. Hopefully Lexus starts breathing reality and brings in the essential IS-F.
This is more looking like a joke from Lexus now, all the stuff they showing looks done by someone in a garage or pep boy store. The green on the caliper looks spray on, and now the exhaust tip looks wrapped Christmas gift...
Holy cow! I was just joking about my Habanero edition IS but turns out I wasn't too far off at all LOL. Sriracha is even dumber but I'm laughing my butt off that I was actually close!!! XD

This is what has become of Lexus now?
Will the exhaust fumes make all your neighbors ill?

No but the key fob can dispense Sriracha with the push of a button apparently... I'm not even kidding lol.
I don't get why Lexus would spend so much time doing this instead of focusing on performance vehicles and the like. That's what they need right now, and an ISF or some new true performance engine option (not like the tiny 200t engine) would have been much more interesting. This is just a waste of time and money and I can't seem to quite figure out why they would bother with this?
I mean who in their right mind would even bother paying extra to have their Lexus labeled as a bottle of Sriracha?? You'll basically look an idiot and a walking advertisement. But hey, at least you get like 47 bottles of Sriracha in the trunk right?? XD
An IS F 5.0L V8 will sell in very limited numbers, for example to enthusiasts on this forum.
However, a 2.0L four cylinder turbo will sell in large numbers to the mass market.
So this is a metallic orange IS, with green chrome trim on the front grill and the rear exhaust tips?
The front grill also seems to have lost the oil coolers which are normally mounted at the bottom?
It can't be an IS F, because such a variant would normally have quad exhaust tips.

Yup, sadly here we are on the forums hoping for an exciting new entry into the Lexus lineup but instead we end up with a Sriracha IS. No wonder why other performance car brand enthusiasts have a hard time taking the Lexus brand seriously...
This is how I envision the top decision makers in the Lexus boardroom that came up with this idea:

This is ridiculous. Is it April 1st today?? This is a version that would even be silly on a Dodge Dart or WRX; but on a Lexus, with all those gosh labels??? Just awful.
