When the Lexus IS-F starts winning some comparison tests, then I'll give it a second look. Initial impressions from what I've read shows it to be a good "first" effort, but its still a "first effort". The 8-speed gearbox is pointless, the styling is ridiculous (and quad tailpipes not functional), and it's just not as poised as the German rivals.
