I think the second option of the poll should read:

"Yes, however I'm going to wait a year or two and pick one up used."

C'mon, the IS platform has already been on the market for a couple years.
And we know Lexus/Toyota engines are bulletproof.
Is there really a need to be worried about "first year production bugs" with a Lexus?

Phoey!

I'll take mine in Blue. But I'm keeping the GS (I am buried in it anyway )

Well, if everything goes according to plan, then it will be one of my first purchases when i get my commission after graduation. But, all the variables have to be correct...

An option should be added: I definitely want one, if money wasn't an issue.

I saw the car in person.

I think the IS-F is a mean looking car, not sure I am ready to jump the GS ship yet though.

Well Im def keeping the GS. Don't know though, Im kinda used to mid-size cars and the IS might be too small for me. Who know's though, one test drive and I might be game.

You guys know how it is (after dealer markup) the IS-F will cost @ least 65k out the door, no thanks, I'd rather hold out for the GS460, much room and practical @ same time.
