the big question...buy one now, or wait untill the new one arrives...
if the new ISF is going to be anything like this...

very nice!
Although this is reason for concern..."A successor to the M3-challenging, 417bhp IS-F isn't completely ruled out, but unlikely in the current climate, say insiders."

Don't bother waiting...it'll be a few years. We barely have rumors about about the next-gen ISF at this point. Even if they were to spring it on us it'll be a good year out at least.
A 2011+ ISF is ideal. With the added Torsen LSD, nifty LED headlights, improved suspension, and the updated gauges it's a fantastic car!

Too funny. I was JUST talking with my buddy about this for over half an hour yesterday, and minutes after we got off the phone insane this thread. 
He has an M3 and I've had my eye on getting an F for years. I was tempted to wait but he also said exactly what's been repeated in this thread. Pending a bit more negotiation, I should be FINALLY picking up my new 2012 F in a few days. Let's see how it turns out.. :/

Like I said, agree to disagree. But I know enough to know the M3 isn't going to "easily" kick my 2011's *** as you naively suggest. I don't like the sound of the M3 engine - especially compared to the 4000+rpm grunt of the IS F. Add the M performance exhaust and it's a different story -- but that's not factory stock.

Drove 3 hours to pick it up yesterday afternoon!!!
Broke my heart to put 290 miles on it the day I got it just driving back home, but it was SUCH A FREAKING PLEASURE driving it that I'm quite over it. I can't get over the amazing balance between luxury/comfort/everything-I've-always-wanted and BADASSNESS.
BEST feeling walking to my car every time, internally repeating "Yea, THAT's mine"
Haven't seen you in a while!! Took a few years but this amazingness was worth the wait. Now that makes two of us USB's in South Florida (that I know of)
I'll post a build thread when I get some time this weekend.
Final consensus: DO NOT WAIT ANOTHER 2+ YEARS FOR A NEXT GEN IS F
