XIS350

can somebody please post the reasons why I should or shouldn't, and how limited is this car in the U.S. market? ( "Production Numbers" ), I will like to get the ISf as a collectable (" this car will be siting in my garage most of the time")... I will hate to go with Nissan and the GT-R, my local dealer wants $20k over the MSP...NO WAY!!!.

I drove the IS350 a while back and I thought it was a piece of crap

I still do, but at least the 5 liter makes things bearable

2500 being made this year - total. Who knows how many next year. I highly doubt this will become a car that is sought after by collectors. If you are thinking of buying it for that reason you will be making a mistake. Buy the car to drive the crap out of it. No other reason makes sense.

Yeah I don't see the point of buying any car so it can sit in your garage, whether it's an ISF or not. This is a drivers car, not an antique. It makes me smile every time I drive it. I don't think I would put it in the same league as GTR. That thing is purely a racecar. Good luck with your decision.

buy it to drive it...that is why cars are made for!!! heh

GTR is hardly a real race car. A real race car isn't something you would want to drive on the street or even legally be able to.

http://video.aol.com/video-detail/bm...netv/734012297 ,how the ISf compares to its competition , I still think the 2008 Lancer Evo is better for that type of racing, the ISf will perform better at the drag strip,

No way, not worth the $20k premium

IMO its not worth the cost difference. Keep the IS350 and boost it and do a few mods to it. I went to the track event Lexus had and I would not trade my 350 for it.

, maybe I will get one when Lexus puts a version doing more than 500 hp that gets better track numbers for the same sticker $ amout.

I just traded my IS350 today for the ISF. I hadn't had the 350 for even a full year yet until 2 more weeks but after test driving the F it was a no brainer. It's so damn fast it's not even funny and not to mention how wicked it sounds under full throttle. Cost me a little to do this but it was worth it. Don't get me wrong, I loved my 350 to death but this is basically the same car only way faster, better handling, better sounding, bigger tires, better braking and a sweet body style with the side vents behind the front wheel and the rear spoiler.

Didn't have the car off the dealers lot 5 miles and some punk kid in a mustang wanted to go and I embarassed him in front of his G/F. Left him standing still, then he caught up to me and tried to pass me as I was going 70 mph down the 4 lane and he got a running start and I waited for him to get close and I opened it up. Let's just say he never got to my door and I was pulling away from him. Me from a steady 70 mph and him with a running start probably at around 90 mph and I still blew him away.

WHOOOO HOOOO

The New Mustang GT is not a challage to the IS350 or the ISf, and is a 30k car...lol!, next time go for the AMG's

the ISf can do 0-60 around 4.5 seconds stock, the IS350 with the stock performance package can do it in 4.9 seconds, https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=364295 , both cars can accelerate Fast, so when it comes to performance is not a BIg difference, the only way for Lexus to sell more ISf is to drop the IS350 from the market in my opinion.
