IS/RC [Official] 2014 Lexus IS

[Tumbo]

I just gotta say this: I hate this car with passion. It's the ugliest car in the segment, hands down. I actually think even the BMW F20 has a better looking front! And that is something I never though Id say.

^ it's not true, the BMW looks more stupid

Here and there some of the trim + fit looks tacky in the video. Nice engine sound IMO.

I thought you were describing the 3 Series.


But I'll be kind to you, at least you like the engine sound a bit.

While BMW is the largest Premium seller, it is now the Premium brand with the least emotion. At least a McLaren is well built compared to BMW.

What exactly are you on about?

FYI - It happens to him (Levi68) now and then and if it does he simply doesn't make sense at all

All reviews on the new IS ends in 1 overwhelming conclusion: It's luke warm, not there yet and to close to the previous generation. I do like the cabin (for a Toyota that is) and the driving position looks inviting.

One thing Lexus got totally wrong was inviting the German competition to the party. They shot themself in both feet, I think the PR person @ Lexus was fired after that sh!tty idea. LS/GS/IS still a decade behind Deutschland Über Alles

And no Levi, this is not the LFA thread, so forget it my o'l mate

BMW still has nothing like an LFA.

I honestly like the IS silver 5-spoke wheel design better than the gun metal F-sport style wheels. Very dark wheels completely disappear once they start turning and I hate that aspect of dark wheels.

If I were to buy the IS350. I would get the F-sport and then ask them to swap the standard 18 inch wheels 5 spoke wheels.

A decade behind?? Are you kidding?? You are speaking like a true German fanboi. You completely are choosing the ignore the fact that both the new IS and GS F-sport cars have already beaten BMW, Audi, Mercedes and Infiniti in comparos.

Even BMW's biggest fan Car and driver (who have put 3-series in the top 10 list for 20 years) could not resist, but give the win to the IS with points in steering feedback, handling and interior.

I have not driven or sat inside the car myself, but considering all of the accolades it is receiving, I am giving it benefit of the doubt until I drive it myself.

Guys...just a reminder, be respectful to each other, try to restrain from typical fan boy war.

It's Human that starts that in every thread telling how superior German cars, especially BMW, are. He is now the Fanboy of the Year on GCF.

This is exactly the type of post I want other members to avoid, we are not kids anymore, this is not a high school. It just takes another person to follow to turn this into a mess, so please apply your sensibility and intelligence. Btw this post is directed at everyone.

Something illegal, apparently.

 

[330CIZHP]

I like these 5-spoke silver 18 inch wheels way more than the dark metal finish F-sport wheels

 

[hoffmeister_fan]

Personally, I prefer the Non-F multi-spoke wheels.

I saw this car at a show and my god it's ugly. everything about the exterior is wrong and i didn't get a close look so couldn't see the interior, but it looks nothing as desirable as the Germans from the above pics.
