OMG there is an illuminated "F" in the instrument cluster...how gay is that?

The interior isn't impressive at all. Reminds me of a Maxima.
IS-F

Maxima

Yea the interior design may not be anything inspiring... but the quality is damn good, feels better to the touch than most german brands.

This sums up why the Japanese never build a true drivers car.

Quote:

Yaguchi says that while the M3 is fun to someone who is looking for performance driving, the car may not be appealing to everyone.

“We wanted the IS-F to be fun to drive for everyone. We wanted all the people who love cars and enjoy driving to have the same experience. The skill level shouldn’t matter, whether you are a novice or a racer.

The normal IS is the car for "everyone". The IS-F should have been a car for "drivers".

Is the "F" for "Faster" or "F0cking Gay"?

Come on guys...

Does the "F" represent a design from a subsidiary of Lexus created for their racing program, or is it something they just made up to sell cars?
