Would you trade your GS for an IS-F?
Just brought my car in for the recall and they gave me a RAV 4 as a loaner (groan)
Anyway, the dude at Lexus said I could trade my car in for an IS-F if I wanted to and it wouldn't be much difference in price (I'm financing my 07 GS350)
Doubt I'd do it but wondered what you guys would do? I love my GS but on the way home I seen an IS-F on the road (for the first time) and it seemed like such an odd coincidence. That car sounded awesome when it drove by.

yes. I would. I really like the GS, but regret not getting a sportier vehicle. I don't need the size, and would prefer a small fast car. Not hating the GS, and hindsight is 20/20, but realize I should have waited for the Nissan 370Z.

I think it really depends on what you like......The IS-F is a very sporty and fast car......But I really feel like the GS with some wheels and drop might have a bit more style and class then the IS-F.

Haha, I feel the same man, our GS's are too ballin right now to trade in for a stock F. Not to mention the aftermarket support for the F is still conservative now. If I had a stock GS then id definitely do it, but I already put too much $$ into it, furthermore, I havent fully enjoyed it yet. I will be trading in my GS for an F in about 2 years though
But for now............GS FTW

I agree with all of you - I wouldn't trade mine. It would be cool to have an IS-F as a second car though
BTW - This RAV 4 SUCKS. Its hard going from the GS to this. No bluetooth so I'm worried about getting pulled over on my cell phone. No sattelite radio on the sterring wheel. UGH

Yeah its not a bad car but it has shown me how its impossible for me to go back a step from the GS now. I'm pretty much stuck in luxury car land from here on out.

i wouldn't do it. the is-f is very small, the performance is there but to me you are giving up a lot.
in terms of aftermarket support, true that right now is-f probably has less support than the 3gs, but i am more than sure that in the very near future, there will be a lot more mods for the is-f, both cosmetics and performance
i am actually surprised that the sales said the payment on the is-f is going to be about the same as your gs? i would think the payment on the is-f be quite a bit more?
