Man... I just test drove one of these a few months ago(2009) with the price being about $75,000 all said and done("Base" being $57,000 I believe. And you cannot buy it "base"). Lose $30,000 the first year? Holy poopsticks.



Compared to many other cars I've driven in the price-range, it's not a very good car. (has the best navigation system ever, though)

Guy in town has a black one(yes a town of 12,000 people). I actually dont even notice the car half the time, and have ridden in it(not driven it), and it never impressed me further than cars lesser it's price.
I would rather own a mazda FD rx7 than this car....

I've driven a couple of Lexus IS models. Very impressed with the quality and driving experience. I'd love to drive an IS-F model.

Guess it's hard for some people to appreciate a fine automobile like this.

I think they are beautiful but should be AWD.

nice car but wouldnt be my pick.

Pulling your wallet out does that to ya.

I wouldn't mind picking up a used IS250 AWD for a daily driver.

Good call. IS250 AWD is an excellent value I think.

The IS-F would have been gone up my scale if it had AWD and an manual gearbox option instead of the mandatory 39 gear automatic tranny.
