I picked up my Silver/Black IS F at Lexus Carlsbad this afternoon and am loving it. I worked with Kitty Almond ((800) 561-4730) and I recommend her highly.

Still love the car.

It's good and bad to have a "perfect" reputation, or expectation, from customers, but when someone expects to hear NOTHING from any Lexus, then it's trouble because those expectations are bound to be disappointed. To have a vehicle that's "noiseless" you would need so much additional padding and insulation that the additional weight would probably offset the feel of the car, and Toyota/Lexus are already not known for their handling. It's a tough balancing act for Lexus right now.

Congratulations, what number were you? I am in line at #6. Did anybody drop out in front of you? I'm dealing with Joe L there. Not much to distinguish him yet - he didn't offer to let me test drive your car!!

Sweet...hope you enjoy your IS-F

Is there a recommended break-in period for the car? If so, bet it's going to be hard to follow!

Joe didn't let you test drive the car because I told them not to, and I am sure that you don't want anyone to test drive your IS F. Because I have owned an IS 350 for the past two years and have read all the the reviews here I didn't feel like I needed a test drive, and after a 40 mile drive home yesteday afternoon I am very pleased with this purchase.
