Ummmmmmm....I know I'm going to get hammered for this, but can someone please point out to me how the taillights are different from the regular IS?

It looks great to me, as is......well, except for the stacked exhaust tips.

as I see it now I am a little disappointed. It barely looks different than the standard ISx50. I couldn't pay 60k for that. No way, sorry it won't happen. For that much money you could get various cars now. I expect the hype to be on both sides of the spectrum.

Dark colored cars always hide the true lines of any car, especially one with an aftermarket body kit. Dark cars have always been difficult to photograph in comparison to something lighter like White or Silver.

Also, why can't Japanese cars get wheel offsets right? They always look so damn tucked in, whereas German cars are always spot on.
I agree 100%. The is350 looks like it belongs in the same class as the 3 series and C class, but the ISF doesn't look in the same league as those AMG and M cars.

THe good thing about the IS-F looking almost exactly like the current IS models we have is that it sure makes us current IS owners look good regardless if we're driving an IS250 or an IS350.

The wheel offsets is horrible. It needs to be flushed with the fender to give it a more aggressive stance. Not sure how I feel about the IS-F ever since looking at the C63

I know that Lexus wants to be original, but those diaganol exhaust tip is just fugly!!! Other than that, the car itself looks pretty good. It looks lower than the current IS design. Almost slammed.
