Emissions is the key. This car meets ULEVII standards. A true dual exhaust design would not accomplish that.

THIS IS ALL THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE THEN THE IS-F WOULD BE PERFECT
1. Change the headlight design to portray more of an aggresive feel F
2. wider rear tires not the same as a 350 F
3. the exhaust still baffles me one how it is not true and two how it is not even connected to the bzeles or what ever they may be in the rear bumper please lexus make this chnage on the production model F
4. get a real lsd F
5. LEXUS LISTEN BECAUSE WHEN YOU CHANGE THESE 4 THINGS U HAVE A PERFECT CAR THAT IS EQUAL IN PERFORMANCE IN AS A F ASTHEICALLY LINE BASED CAR

I would like to have a thicker steering wheel. Like the Euro RS4 or even the E46 M3. It'll make the drive feel much more sporty.

When they unveiled the car, they specifically said it would be worthy as a track day car. I should hope so. One requirement for track days or high performance driving schools is that the driver be wearing a helmet. Instructors also try to promote a seating position that is more upright (i.e. not the reclined "fast-n-furious" position) as to better control the steering wheel with both hands. What is this going to require for any driver over 6ft tall? HEADROOM. I know the prototypes are shown without a moonroof, but the survey made it sound like a moonroof might be standard. Please, please make it easy to get a car without a moonroof. Its this simple, if I can get a IS-F without a moonroof, I'll buy one. If I get the run around from the dealer that "all allocated units have a moonroof " , I will order a RS-4 with a moonroof delete.

Well, the styling of the IS-F is very subjective, and Lexus has clearly made a statement. For the most part, I like the styling, but I wish they would tone down the big front fender vents and door sills. I like the stacked quad exhaust tips and polished wheels on the blue car introduced at the auto shows. I like the front view and the back view...I think the back view is what most people will see anyway! Ha ha
