Lexus doesn't want to sell more IS-F's

I would bet, neither do the owners

One of the fastest shifting 8 speed,

Pretty decent exhaust

Best sounding intake evar!!

And a kick *** suspension and imho better than my 335i.



all that defiantly worth more than 20k.

I think the 2009 version of the ISf will be a better buy...the same happened with the 2006 IS350...the 2007 had better options,can't wait for that one

if you had a is250 or did not have the is350 already, then I would say yes. I would rather have the is-f instead of the 350, but the 350 is more than adequete for what I was looking for. To tell you the truth, I would of been happy with the 250 with 6spd manual as I drive less than 8 miles each way in traffic. Even on the weekends I cannot go over 60 mph as there is too much traffic in my area. Just buy whatever you think will make you happy.

Sad, sad, when roads, traffic limit your car decisions. I guess this is where the practically factor comes calling...the real world. Don't like this choice...prefer the preference, ie...big performance numbers. Tough choice.

06->07 update = Sharkfin, ability to disable the VDIM w/o peddle dance, and most '07s on up seemed to be a tick faster (maybe from a ECU update)

The '08s have better steering feel and some other cosmetic changes.
