Still an M3...still a Lexus. Id love to drive the IS-F back to back to the M3. M3 has always been a very agile car, with telepathic handling and braun, and now it has a big V8 between the fenders.
IS-F is a good job, but its still no M3. Lets hope that the upcoming Alpha-based BTS Caddy will have a V model to compete in the entry level performance sedan/coupe market.

yeah i understand but the last M3 i drove was back in '04 and the IS-F blows the doors off the '04 M3 i drove but yeah i i hope the BTS will have a V model too!!

nice color on that ISF. that said, i dislike the car solely because there is no manual option. no other reason, that is all. sports cars must have a manual as at least an option. thats a jake requirement

i still say C63 is better than IS-F. I've driven a few (and crashed/totaled one) M3's....including the newest one. M3's have always been the benchmark, but nowadays the bench is getting full, with C63 being the better daily sport sedan, and IS-F not far behind.
