I do plan to put coilovers on in a few months, the car does come with a lower suspension that the regular IS250 but its not low enuf for me. I also plan to get the rear lip and side skirts, the car alrdy comes with a nice front lip.

IS350 is next and then onto the ISF! I think we both are very much alike. I kept my brand new 2010 TSX for a whole month and 1,000 miles before trading it in for a new EVO X. A few other cars before that as well. lol

The F-sport comes with a upgraed suspension, forged lightweight 18" wheels, a diff. front bumper, upper & lower grill, front lip, f-sport badging, diff. rear spoiler..on the inside, diff. steering wheel, navigation, interior trim, suede & black leather seats, all black headliner, and a diff. shift knob..thats all i can think of right now. Ive been told that their only making 500 F-Sports so i guess i should feel lucky.

sounds almost like a whole new car, im sure it all comes together for a nice package, if there was a TSX-R i wouldve jumped all over it.

it sure does look aggressive!

is it an automatic or a manual? I'm curious if it's a manual to see how you like it. I've heard bad things about lexus MT.

Also, car looks real nice.

Its a automatic, im not sure if they make the F-Sport in a manual. I like my IS alot more than my Tsx but I did love my Tsx for its unique styling, and the ipod usb controls i think were easier to understand.

no offense taken, to each their own....the F-Sport package cost about 4k more than the regular IS250.

Yeah... imagine how much sh** they talk about you when they go to happy hour... "that a** always has a new car when he is always telling us that because of the economy we can't get a 1% raise and we should be happy to have a job!"

Good for you for enjoying yourself and buying some sick cars... just saying people get real jealous... two weeks ago when I bought my 11' TSX, some people in the office were jealous...
