???? Have you read through the threads?

Post #21 clearly states that he was in the car with the OP and has posted the pics of the black IS-F they drove in. A lot of people have seen, been in and driven the pre-production cars. The car is not "vaporware". We are getting close to production release, it exists and there's no reason to be such a doubter.

Dave is right, I got a call from a certain GA dealer they had an IS-F on hand and I heard them REV the motor for me over the phone.

Lol, I just read your post dude. Thanks for the call and heads up.]


Hmm, that is NOT the IS-F at the Taste of Lexus. That one was white/white leather. There was no rubber on the tires!! ")

Hopefully you were Not commenting your last 2 paragraphs to me. I did not call BS on anyone and none of the rest is anything that I commented on.
Sorry about my bad assumption because I can't figure out how did you drive the Pre-Production LS600hl a few months before the release date/by yourself and a few times and you said its got nothing to do with the Southern area office... You must know someone really high up at Lexus HQ then or may be you got a pre-production LS600hl sit in your garage... I have no further question to ask....

The last 2 paragraphs from my last post was just a comment in general and nothing toward you.

Never doubted you once. Thanks again for sharing your first-hand experience.

The steering feel, according to C&D, isn't so bad though. Quote from C&D: "The IS F’s steering rack accurately puts tires where they’re needed and provides talk-back, albeit faint, on how things are holding. And hold they do, with excellent grip."
