Those seats are sick!! They look like old Momo racing seats, but nicer.

3 Things I envy and want on my IS F, which this car has:

- Digital Cluster
- Turn Signal Side Mirrors
- Carbon Fiber Roof

Naturally...!!!

During product planning, one of the main goals was to eliminate the exhaust diffuser / bumper tip set up..
And move forward with the muffler that has the similar stacked tip exits. But attached to the mufflers as shown below.!!

The front grille really bothers me. But that's my single complaint. Car looks fantastic!

This is the mechanical spoiler that I was expecting. It elevates at speeds above 50 mph.

The exhaust has been tuned to emulate the LFA's exhaust note,

Now...let's see the performance specs!

I've had my IS F for only about a year, so I'll hopefully/probably get a later model year RC F rather than one of the first years, just like with my IS F (which I'm glad I waited for, since 2011+ saw upgrades to headlights, wheels, suspension, seats, steering wheel))

That cord is for the lighting/lamp

I wouldn't mind having a set of those wheels on my IS F

If I go this route, I will also be waiting a solid year...I am expecting the 2016 will have improvements. Like everyone, I need to see the performance specs.

Much better looking in Black! Still the same car, but must be Photoshopped....still has electrical plug underneath the rear axle

Is there going to be a Gen3 IS-F in 2014/2015?-sel9m6b.jpg
