OH OH I just wet myself. :(
The day I get excited about any Lexus please take my drivers license because I have become non-fit to drive.

That isn't really fair. The IS-F is at least a little exciting. If they didn't claim it was an M3 fighter. Instead they should admit it is more realistic that it is a powerful, compact, luxury sedan but wasn't a balls to the walls effort like the M3.

Looks Hyundai-ish in the front, Mazda-ish in the rear, and really bland all over.

This is for someone that wants a Prius with more cache and slightly improved looks (that's not saying much).
