Re: Small Sports Sedans

Love every single one of the german cars

That IS-F fell out out of the ugly tree and hit and every branch of the way down, it those pictures, perhaps its better in real life.

I really like the C63 AMG and the RS4 is simply amazing...

But the M3 is my personal favourite and properly always will be

Re: Small Sports Sedans

I really would like to know what on earth Lexus designers were thinking when they decided to give the generally handsome IS a more aggressive appearance but somehow they managed to muck things up so badly with what as a rule, it was supposed to be the best looking model of the Lexus IS range.

I don't like the "IS-F" name either. Sounds like the name of a sexually transmitted disease.

Lol

I agree with what you've said about the exterior body of the IS-F. They had a chance to make something brilliant, but pretty much failed in my opinion.

The transformation is something like a good-looking chick who thought that she wasn't good looking and then decided to destroy herself by overtanning, while overusing botox and adding 48DD silicon breasts.

You bastards!

I do however, like the interior.

Re: Small Sports Sedans

WoW, the Lexus look big and clumpsy. Compare to the germans the car pale and the car doesnt look good either.

Re: Small Sports Sedans

Am I the only one that likes the Lexus? Yeh I know its exterior is a bit overdone, but so is the C63s. I'll have to wait and see but I think it will be a great car. I think it looks that bad, probably looks better in real.

But anyway, M3 is still at the top of my list. Even though the one we are looking at is the coupe, I dont think I would be able to buy one of the others over it! Probably followed by the RS4, simply because I love its still modern looks. Lastly the Mercedes, although I really like that too.

Re: Small Sports Sedans

I'm a big IS fan and hope for Lexus sake that they are back to the drawing board redesigning the IS-F because it looks like horse shit compared with the competitors.

The IS-F isn't overdone it's dead ugly. Although I prefer the C63, the best designed in the bunch is the RS4. Every little detail is made to match with rest of the car. Audi did a great job.
