Just like when the IS F first came out in 2007, I posted some polls to generate some data to share with Lexus HQ. This time it's for the IS 500 F SPORT Performance. Your vote does count so please enter your vote on this poll below:

POLL: Which would you pick? IS 500 F SPORT Performance or IS 500 Launch Edition

There seems to be more than just a hint that Lexus is going to make some sort of performance SUV (either a true F or a 500). I'm waiting to see what that's going to be. My dream daily has always been something like a GXF or even GX500...the more truck like SUV with some grunt to it. I doubt very seriously they make something like that though. An NX500 seems likely.

Anything is possible. Don't count Lexus out yet.

First test of the IS500 F-Sport (yes, it has an aftermarket exhaust)

For those that are wondering, the IS 500 F SPORT Performance sounds identical to my RC F both at idle and revving. If you had a blindfold on, you wouldn't be able to tell which is which.

My initial reaction to the IS 500 exhaust note was "that sounds exactly like my RC-F". Not that that's a bad thing.

Exactly. When I had both cars idling at the same time, it was basically the engines in harmony with each other....surround sound!
