DAMN!!! Im actually liking that a lot. I thought I would hate the staggered exhaust look, but it doesnt look to bad in that pic. Need to see full body pic.
And is that the same blue that was on the IS350 car making the autoshow rounds earlier this year??!! I knew they couldnt resist!! My favorite shade of blue.

No that's not the same blue. The Blue on the Team Lexus Modified IS350 that was at last year's show was a BASF Carizzma Ultra Blue Pearl which is a a bit lighter than the IS-F's.

Looks like they're releasing it sooner to take the thunder from the E90/E92 M3. Good strategy, but hopefully there will still be enough R&D put into it to make it a worthy SPORTS sedan. Don't blow it, Lexus!

I still maintain it is a photoshop image, Lexus has done some before. It may be quite accurate however...as their photoshops have been...
The autoextremist article...I usually don't agree or care for their opinions, but they have some good points, including the idea of tying in the Lexus-F division with the GT2 racing...when is Team Lexus coming back with their IS 350 twin cars?

I agree, DO NOT BLOW IT, Lexus. I am counting on you on this one.
Btw, have you seen the fender flares on the new M3 spy pictures?

Straight from the source itself ... LONG LONG month indeed. Not only will Toyota show the Tundra CrewMax at Detroit, not only will Toyota reveal all the Tundra specs at the same time, they are introducing the IS-F, and a Lexus concept at Detroit too. Talk about a full house!
Rumour is that the concept may be a preview of the next-gen SC, but I also have it feeling it could a close-to-production tease of the LF-A, because of them calling it an "exotic sports concept". Before the LF-A's debut, they also called it an exotic sports concept.
There are also rumours about some big announcements at Chicago too. When Toyota remains this quiet, it usually means something is up
.
And I must say, I just love that teaser pic of the IS-F. That rear bumper is gorgeous, and I love how the exhaust looks. Aggressive yet elegant at the same time. And those tailights, awesome! With the rear looking pretty good compared to an IS350, let's hope the rest of the car does too. And let's hope Lexus did a proper performance setup, with bigger tires and wheels, chassis and suspension enhancements, and those rumoured Brembos. If the rest of the car matches the engine, it should be an amazing machine
