Found the interior not to be as good as the M3. When the M3 4 door comes out it will be closer competition.

Cant see it mate ! Amazed they brought this one out to be honest.

Also surpised to see the auto box (with flappy paddles) from the IS250 fitted into this rather then a manual

I thoug the IS-F was going to undercut the M3/RS4/C63 AMG (i.e. around £40k?)

I'm just wondering what bits from the IS-F motor will transfer into my 1UZ-FE V8

Turn it up to 11. Although that's pretty quiet on my stereo, it goes up to 100.

Bit of a waste of time I reckon.......... read a few reviews that kinda agreed.

Good to see them making an effort to make an interesting car though.
