I'm sure you guys already have figured this out by now...but the IS-F will not come in a manual variant unfortunately. Think along the lines of AMG with that rationale.

No surprise there, but there's a lot they can do to make an auto tranny great, average, or lame in this kind of application. Here's hoping they get it right.

Toyota does have an F1 gearbox, with Toyota-designed internals. The only question is will they implement it in the F-Series. It would be a pleasant surprise to many, shock to some, and a signal of intent that Lexus is very serious with their F brand.

"Unprecedented" is the tagline for the New LS introduction...
...which suggests that the IS-F will have the 8-speed automatic transmission that was introduced on the LS 460.
