Default What year is this IS350 F?

Title says it all. What year is the IS350 in the picture?

I would like to purchase my first IS350. I fell in love with this car but I need the car year.

You'll fall more in Love if you purchase ISF with the 416hp v8 rare car and much more fun to drive.

You know some ppl post in here to get the isf crowd going to yet again show they dont know the difference between isf and an Is F sport package with a 3.5 v6. I guess now you know and can do more research. Btw its a 2014-2016 model the new 2017 just had a refreshed front fascia, rear bumper and led tail lights looks nicer in my opinion.

cheers

Hi OP, you posted this in the ISF section. We have a V8 416 hp 5.0L engine. Like posted above. You seek answers from forum members in the 3rd Gen 2014 IS350 and up group. You'll have a more direct year answer if you post there. FYI, "F" is Lexus answer to its competitors in the performance category. "F Sport" is an optional trim package offered in the IS250, 350, and new 200T. All the power plants remain the same in this segment. The F Sport package offers a sportier look and feel to the car, but performance remains the same under the hood. Good Luck!

As stated above, that is a 2014 to 2016. There are great deals on the 16 right now, but the 17s are getting a refresh and a bigger screen on the inside, and look better also in my opinion. But wont have many deals till the end of next year.

Get the is250 f sport instead. Smaller v6, less weight and cheaper

Its the damn overuse of the letter "F" lol. Why couldnt they have just called ours a IS500 vs ISF, would save alot of the confusion or not overuse F and F Sport in every lineup.

All this confusion is only because the F brand is so new. Yes it's frustrating but Lexus has to start somewhere. It's honestly the same over at BMW with M. They have M-Sport packages (which seem to offer more than f-sport) for every series and then a true M car. Overtime hopefully the world gets up to speed and there will be no more confusion!

Yeah i get what youre saying but the ISF has been out since 08, a fair while now. No one mistakens a M3 vs a 335i etc but when asked and i say i have a ISF, i usually get asked is it a IS250 or 350 lol. Ah well the car is more unique so its all good :-)

No one mistakes an M3 because the M3 started with the E30 back in 1985. I love how unique our cars are, only time will set the course of the F history. Then people will realize..."holy crap! Lexus started with the ISF!!!???" When more and more F cars get rolled out and get noticed.
