If I had to guess since they have a car from the U.S. and Germany, probably wanted to include the hottest sedan currently available from Japan and that would be the F. But I agree the IS-F is NOT in this class and will be interesting to see the results. Should have included the NEW Merc. E Class AMG but probably not available yet and Audi RS6 has been around for a while. I watch Supercars Exposed all the time and the host Tanner Foust is the 2007 World Drifting Champion so he should have some fun with the F!!
Me want some RS6, but the Audi is not in the same class as the M5 or CTS-V just like the IS-F. I don't understand this comparison at all, and I'm tired of this nonsense from the media.........
for IS-F getting some publicity
for incredulous comparisons

I usually like the show but honestly found this episode lacking.
He doesn't drive a stock ISF... nor does he take the time to even tell you what's different on this ISF from stock.
And the driving is limited to the track. He spends well over twice as much time gushing over that ugly *** M5 and the uber cool CTS-V.

I thought it was a total waste of time
The F was modified and was on for maybe 45 seconds. A big

The benz was a heavily modded Brabus as well. What's your point? The fact that the IS-F was even mentioned in this class is a step up for Lexus. Take what you can get and quit complaining! And I loved the end when they only showed the C63 AMG when they were doing a plug for Mothers wax
No M3 sighting makes me a happy camper

A let down for me too....
The episode was entirely lacking when it came to the IS-F. I do, however, have more respect for my father's choice in marques, Cadillac, and thought the show highlighted the "V's" capabilities quite nicely. The Brabus was just unbelievable capable of going a monsterous 370kph. The F1 driver riding shotgun, Adrian Sutil, should keep his day job as he just won't make it on TV.
