Wow pics got out early! Interior looks almost the same as a regular IS but with different colors. Exterior looks good but not that distinctive from a regular IS and we need more pics.

it looks like lexus is trying too hard (shoehorn big engine into the bay, add big vent cuz well, all true performance cars have one ), it still looks a little plush to be a true performance car... hopefully first drive reports will prove otherwise!

Someone is taking his screenname too seriously. That's really sick! Can't wait for the real thing...

I'd be disappointed if the final horsepower rating was 400 on the IS-F. It's gonna take more than 400hp to hang with the likes of the new M and RS4. Forget this "not trying to be a direct competitor" crap. Put Lexus on top!

My first impression is ehhhhh... . If that really is the IS-F, I will probably get used to it within 3 months. Disappointed.

that's a fake. There's no way lexus would lower the car *that* much.

That is a pic from Lexus.com. The GS is not that low in person

You have the smiley there so you might be kidding, but when lowering a car using photoshop, the trick is to lower the entire top half of the picture cutting around the rims/tires. If you were to just cut the outline of the car and lower it, it would leave a big white gap running along the entire top of the car.

As for how it looks, I think the hood bulge and the gigantic scoop behind the front wheel really ruins the IS's clean lines. What a disappointment.
