When I first saw the IS-F like most of you here, I HATED it! I thought it was RICE all the way...
HOWEVER - seeing it there, it was every bit a beautiful car. The side vents are nowehere near as outlandish as the pctures I had seen of it indicated. And the wheels...the wheels practically scream DO NOT MESS WITH ME...awesome brakes, great paint, inside the carbon fiber is a bit much, otherwise it's just as luxurious as the other IS interiors...
Lexus says 400+hp and sub-5 0-60 times, but I'm still a firm believer this car will be 450-hp - and do low 4's

I'm with you, I believe they were the color choices - they were also doing a survey so maybe those are color candidates and not the final colors...

Wheels look great, nice redesign of taillights and reflectors, two tone interior is awesome.
However, I still can't find love with the new body "kit," especially the front wheel vent. Chunky lip spoiler is different, but not "sporty" enough. Carbon fiber interior is a bit too much; I would have preferred a clean real aluminum inlay, or glossy piano-black ebony. And that damn hood bulge makes me think of a high forehead, alla Tyra Banks.
In other words, I love the engine and it's potential. I would have loved it more if it was designed more European-VIP, rather than Japanese-rice. I would have also made the car somehow lighter (and I can't wait to feel the new suspension) with less fu-fu designs, but alas, it looks chunkier/heavier than the IS350.
