Default Anyone have an IS-F in Los Angeles? (For a ClubLexus Review)
Hey, Folks, Palmer here from the front-page editorial team. I'm not sure on the exact timing, but sometime this summer I should be getting a chance to drive and review the new IS 500 F-Sport Performance ahead of it landing in dealerships this fall.

I was hoping a CL member (or friend-of-a-friend) in the Los Angeles area might have an IS-F that I could review and then compare to the 500.

Here are a couple of my reviews for context:Cheers!

Hahaha... you know what, that could make an interesting article too -- Buy the new 500 or Build an F.

Do you have a date in mind or how long you would need the car for?

No specifics at the moment, I'm afraid. I just know it'll be sometime in the summer, so I figured it would be smart to revisit the IS-F just before.

In terms of needs, very flexible about that. Maybe 3-4 hours. Film the car, interview the owner, go for a ride-along or drive (up to the owner, no pressure), kinda like an Autotopia video (not sure if you've seen them on YouTube). I generally like to film in Palos Verdes along the coast or Angeles Crest -- flexible about that too.

Cheers,
Michael

If it's done on a weekend, maybe ISF owners in LA can gather up for a quick hangout too.

I'm in! Just let me know like a month in advance so I can block it out. Sunday works best.
