Default 2011 Lexus IS F-Sport Rant

So there I am trying to find parking at the mall the day before Christmas eve, none to be seen at all, seems like I spent more time driving around looking for parking then I did to get there. When all of a sudden I spot one of these!



At first I think to myself wait a minute, something looks different! whipping my neck around taking a second look, like if I had just spotted a hot chick, you gents know what I'm taking about. So I think to myself oooh la la, what have we here, then I proceed to hit R and slowly check it out front to back.



I have to admit this car looks a hell of a lot better! I like it!

The car looks so well defined, like it's starting to grow up. The front bumper looks really nice, I like the curves and the lines, it just looks right! The mystic about the headlights is so awesome, they're not ghetto fab blacked out but rather clean and shiny. The rear bumper has more lines than the original IS and I think it makes it look slimmer and fit! also I'd like to add that the F spoiler is catching my attention day by day, and now it's got my full attention.



Well just thought I'd share. I almost pulled the gun on one of these, but decided to wait it out for a proper transmission and LSD, I will say though that the possibilities of getting that front bumper, rear bumper, headlights and F-Spoiler are very high.

Everyone have a happy and Merry Christmas, may you all be blessed with awesome gifts!

I love the wheels and the headlights. As for everything else, I'll just keep my 2008. But it's one niiiiiice ride.

F-Sport is definitely a nice package of goodies. The new F-sport wheels look so much better than the previous design.

It does look nice! Was the owner there? Seems that the tires are turned in different directions in the pics. Did he talk to you about HIS impressions of it?

Those are Lexus pics, not the one the OP saw on the street.

Really? Ummm...looks like a promotional photo shoot. Especially since it's "right" hand drive....

I think the OP was describing what he saw and found these pics and posted them.
