Default IS-F Outsells C63 & E90M3 Last month?

According to Autoblog... quoted by Lexus execs. Either way, I hope they do expand the F series to the other models. Enjoy.

If it did then the M3 sedan and C63 sales must have cratered! The IS-F wasn't selling for squat several months ago and I somehow doubt sales went up 2x or 3x.

Yeah maybe, but it would also weigh over 4,000 lbs and I doubt it would be any quicker/nimble than the IS-F

well if they were to make a GS-F, it'd have to compete with the M5, E63

Word......but the IS-F is quicker/as quick to 60 and in the 1/4 mile than an M5 or m6

Also compete with the new CTS-V which blows the doors off anything in it's class!

I think its because Lexus dealers are not afraid to deal and that makes this car an exceptional value. the M3 and C63 are still stiff on the price side. Sure the invoice prices are inline with wachother, but the bimmer dealer is used to selling M's at 5%-10% over msrp. Now they they have to deal with the economy Thank goodnessm but I do need more worthy cars on the road, so i hope they sell more soon

The "F" is a great value (price vs. performance) especially in today's economy, so it's no wonder it outsold the C63 and M3.
