Spotted: IS-F In Orange County!!!

Anyone see a blue IS-F go down the 55 Freeway in Orange county traveling southbound? I would've totally rolled by it if I didn't have to exit.

This was on Monday morning 10/1 around 9 a.m. The guy was traveling on the carpool lane down towards Newport Beach.

*I know it's not released yet, but I'm guessing it's one of the promo cars perhaps

It's only a matter of time until you see too many of them.

I may be the only one that doesn't like the new IS. I hate the looks of the IS-F, the exhaust tips look dumb, and the front face looks like it's swollen. It kinda looks like the IS gained a few pounds, and not of muscle.

If by hotter you mean not even on the same level, then yes. haha

I do wanna see how it looks in person, though Lexus' designs never did anything for me.

Well it's limited production and it's going to start around $50-$60k range. I doubt I'll see TOO many of them.

It'll be right around the M3 range.

You live in the OC, right? Tell me how many e46 M3s you see every day.

I'm referring to the IS-F.

As for the M3's, I see about on average 1 per day or so. But that's because I'm traveling on the same daily route.

So, what I'm saying is that the IS-F is eventually going to be as common as an M3.

I've seen it too in real life, but it was covered up. from pics and the somewhat secretive performance numbers (400+ hp, 350+ tq is what lexus states), I have a feeling it can outperform the m3 sedan.
