Very nice, LSD is a great addition to the IS-F. Nice to see Lexus putting a lot of focus on the IS line and continually updating it. If only Lexus could do the same for the GS line.
Even though years ago Lexus said the IS-F didn't need LSD because of VDIM, I think that Lexus found through testing that LSD + VDIM results in even greater performance.

And it says they've retained the electronic LSD. There's a whole paragraph on it. Strange. You'd think they'd say something about the VSC/VDIM being recalibrated for the new mechanical LSD.

They have had those since 2006 on the 2IS's...
When the F was released in 2008, they were there too..
Just NOT here in the USA & CAD spec. IS-F's

I have ordered a '10 IS F in USB and Alpine/Black. I'm excited about the changes but unsure about the new rim design. If they turn out to be an option, I'll go with the original design.
It would be nice to see this car in a "real Sports car Red" instead of Matodor (which I love).
