History shows that it usually takes them about 3 tries to get a product right when competing in a new space.

They def have the cash. They've already bested the 7 series with the new LS460 hybrid, which has more power, better MPG, seamless hybrid integration, and a much better interior for less money. It looks better too.

Looks like whoever created the picture used a *mediocre* spell check program

marcvtec · 05-15-2007, 07:53 PM

The car looks like someone had some fun with crazy glue, plastic and vacuum lines, and when they woke up they said omg lets try and sell it anyways LOL

E90ice · 05-15-2007, 09:04 PM

I think one of the car magazines alreadly pre-tested the IS-F and they weren't too impressed with it. So much for competing with the M badge...

looks like a widebody accord

I test drove an IS before going across the street to the BMW dealer to test drive an E90. The IS was cheap, thin doors, plastic cheap interior, drove like a Honda Accord. You can put an F badge, M badge, XXX badge, it is still a piece of $#!+.

Wrong...the LS460 cracks the 6 digit price barrier and doesn't have any where near the road feel or overall driving experience that the 7 offers.

Hmm...better MPG and interior...that's all I'm seeing. Handling is worse. Looks are debatable...I like the 7 more.

I think the body designer of that car should be FIRED!!!

It is a cross between an IS350 and a Viper WTF???

I think they totally missed the boat with that design.

This is the funniest posting on a continual basis I've seen. Lexus go back to hyundai ugly design school circa 1999!

Sure its a bit ricey but it looks better in person. I saw it at the Chicago auto show a few months back and it looks very aggressive in person. I'm sure the e90 m3 will stomp it though.

Ive never been a big fan of Lexus ... the styling has gotten a little better for them but... I doubt i would ever buy one ... *barf*
