2008 IS 250/350 to benefit from IS-F R&D?
The consensus is that the IS-F is coming out at the end of 2007.
I wonder if Lexus will apply some of the learning from all the testing at the Nurburgring to not only the IS-F, but the IS 250/350. Maybe there will be suspension improvement that leads to better steering feel and handling..... etc.
Anybody wants to take a guess? Or better yet, anybody has any insider info?
It may be silly to ask such question since we are all speculating, but oh well....

I think so, it's the trickle down effect. Where do you think the IS-F gets most of it's technology? Toyota F-1 would be the answer..I definitely think that bits and pieces of "know how" from developing the IS-F will be reflected in future Lexus vehicles, it only seems like natural for vehicles to progress this way.
