My mates dad owns a Lexus and a few Toyota dealerships, so he brought home the new IS-F tonight it was exactly like this one. He also let me have a drive of it, which was nice/very brave of him.

Pretty quick car, Lexus' answer to the M3/RS4. Felt just ask quick as my dad's old RS4, just didn't rev as high as the Audi unit which kind of hampered the performance a little. I'd say it was on par though, the gear changes were lightening quick. Had 8 gears though, which I didn't see as necessary. Forever trying to find the right gear. Also the interior is a bit naff, for a £50k car it just wasn't special. Had all the toys as standard though, but the Audi is a nicer place to be. Overall it was pretty impressive, not as sure footed as the Audi at high speed but it was a bit damp out and I didn't want to do anything too stupid. Easily the fastest car I've driven and been allowed to thrash it a little bit.

Oh yeah, and it has the gayest exhausts. Looks like something Powerflow knocked up.

Hmm, not keen on that. The front looks wrong. Too many angles and bulges.

To be fair, it looks nice in the flesh. If not a little OTT, just the exhausts are mega gay.
