The marketing approach that Lexus is using is no different than the one BMW uses by offering a sport package on all of it cars or Mercedes offering a sport package with AMG wheels on the C class. You can order a 3 series with BMW Motorsport parts including a thicker steering wheel and different = more aggresive front and rear bumpers etc.

Lots of people with an IS may want an IS F but not the higher payments. Lexus understands that and wants to give IS owners that cannot afford the F something to aspire to by offering F inspired parts. This has nothing to do with being a poser.

not every IS owner wants a V8 or ISF. The vast majority are more than happy with V6 and good handling.

Well said, it gives people more options and flexibility without having to go immediately to highest/priciest model available.

+1. A good way to spice up the ISx50.
Like it.

I agree also, not bad it looks good, but they should do a little something more special for the IS-F add something else that the IS won't have.

Nice pics rashood I see the tails light continue from the 06-08 models, I thought Lexus by now might have adopted the new style. The best wheels IMO. Any pics of the instrument cluster because the press release mentioned some updates?

Looks like their bringing back the bladed rims and the new inboard LED running lites are a nice touch. The interior orange accents on the seats and steering wheel is "different". Orange and silver accent on the steering wheel clashes a bit much.

That orange/black interior is a welcome change, but it still looks out of place like the Terra Cotta option.

Did you get any pics of the new guages turned on?
