Here's a couple I took - for those that couldn't go, you can see the "color finalists" to the right of the IS-F on the floor:
And here's an IS-F engine "strip tease"...
I like the "honeycomb" they used to dress up the exhaust:
Overall, I liked the vehicle, but I agree whole-heartedly with Philip's comments above. The front end does not follow the lines of the car at all, although it could be that I'm so accustomed to seeing the knife-like front end of the current IS which features much more refined lines. However, my "so-so" reaction to the car changed completely when they turned it on and revved the engine for a little while... WOW
. Just WOW. The muscle car-like growl that this car emits almost made me need a change of underwear...

i was very impressed by the IS-F, the looks way better in person than it does in the pictures.the one major thing i would like to see changed is that strange looking exhaust. and maybe lower it a bit more!

Expect mid $50k range and upward. The pricing range is still being studied and finalized, but that number will has been mentioned twice by my sources during NAIAS - Detroit earlier this year and yesterday at the event. The -0-60 time will be well under the "under 4.9" second range, and the HP numbers close to the new M3.

nice pics.... Somebody needs to get it through to lexus that this ride needs some differentiating colours though.
The blue is fine, white and black are a given....but how about a brighter red? a return of solar yellow?
Why is the colour palette exactly the same as a regular IS?
